Perez Morris has been named a 2026 Defense Research Institute (DRI) Law Firm Diversity Award recipient. The DRI announced the recipients of their Professional Achievement and Service Awards on August 28, 2026.
The Law Firm/Corporate Legal Department Diversity Award is given annually to a firm or legal department that has achieved outstanding diversity goals by demonstrating a commitment to increase diversity and broaden perspectives within and outside their organization.
“We’re so grateful our efforts are being recognized by our peers at such a prestigious national organization,” said Charity Hyde, Perez Morris Chief Diversity Officer and longtime DRI member and active Diversity Steering Committee member. “Diversity isn’t just part of who we are as a firm, it’s also a commitment we’ve made to strengthen our client relationships and make a positive impact in the courtroom and community.”
