Porter Hedges is pleased to announce its selections for the 2021 Leadership Council on Legal Diversity (LCLD) Fellows and Pathfinders Programs. Partner Rikiya Thomas has been selected as a Fellow and Associates Sergio Gonzalez and Megan Luh have been selected as Pathfinders.

Both programs were developed to identify, train, and advance the next generation of leaders in the legal profession. The Fellows Program focuses on mid-career attorneys and the Pathfinders Program is designed for early-career attorneys.

“We are excited to once again participate in the LCLD Fellows and Pathfinders programs. Our partnership with LCLD builds on our commitment to develop and support our diverse attorneys for leadership roles within the firm and in our community,” said Managing Partner Rob Reedy.

She is also an active member of the firm’s Diversity, Equity, Inclusion & Belonging Committee.

Sergio represents companies and financial institutions in a variety of commercial financings, including working capital facilities, syndicated credit facilities, acquisition financings, franchise financings, real estate and construction loans, asset-based loans, and other types of secured and unsecured financings.
