Quarles & Brady attorneys Kiana Baharloo, Kristin Foster, Grace Stewart and Ami Zaveri have been chosen to participate in the Leadership Council on Legal Diversity’s (LCLD) 2026 Fellows and Pathfinders programs. This year’s participation marks the firm’s 17th year as a member of LCLD.

LCLD is an organization of more than 400 corporate chief legal officers and law firm managing partners who are committed to creating an environment where all talent has the opportunity to thrive. LCLD programs are designed to help a new and more diverse generation of attorneys ascend to positions of leadership.

Foster, a partner in the Litigation & Dispute Resolution Practice Group in the firm's Milwaukee office, and Zaveri, senior counsel in the Intellectual Property Practice Group in the firm’s Phoenix office, will participate in the LCLD Fellows program, which is designed for high-potential, mid-career attorneys. The program provides professional and personal development opportunities, leadership training, relationship-building opportunities and access to LCLD members.

Baharloo, a Chicago-based Intellectual Property associate, and Stewart, an Intellectual Property associate in Madison, will participate in the LCLD Pathfinders program. Pathfinders connects high-potential, early career attorneys, with foundational leadership skills and relationship-building resources during a seven-month professional development program.
