According to a statement by the firm, Bujold will lead the firm’s Inclusion Now program, continuing its focus on diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) within the firm and the broader legal community.
Bujold, a litigation partner in the Quebec region, previously chaired the firm’s Pride Action Group and served as the 94th president of the Canadian Bar Association, where he advocated for equality and the rights of the 2SLGBTQ+ community. Bujold also holds a position with the LGBTQI+ Law Committee of the International Bar Association.
“Steeves will play a critical role in continuing our long-held commitment to DEI,” said Sunil Kapur, CEO at McCarthy Tétrault. “We believe DEI is not a one-off set of programs or policies, but the values and commitments that are at the heart of how we operate and who we are. Steeves’ track record embodies that commitment, and we are thrilled to have him join our leadership team.”
