Amicus is the space that Global Counsel Forum built for you.
A private members platform for Black and under-represented lawyers across the globe. Application-only membership means everyone in the room is meant to be there.
By the numbers
Amicus is built on five years of Black Counsel Forum and Global Counsel Forum, trusted relationships and a deep understanding of what Black and under-represented lawyers actually need. This is what that looks like. Amicus is how Global Counsel Forum creates those rooms - by design, all year round.
WHY JOIN AMICUS
There are rooms where everything changes. Where the right introduction opens a door. Where a conversation with someone who has already done it saves you years. Where your ambition meets people who match it. Amicus is how Global Counsel Forum creates those rooms- by design, all year round.
