Carlton Fields’ Radha V. Bachman Named to Leadership Council on Legal Diversity Fellows Program

Tampa, Fla. – Carlton Fields is pleased to announce that Tampa Shareholder Radha V. Bachman will serve as its 2017 Leadership Council on Legal Diversity (LCLD) Fellow. The Fellows program was created by the LCLD to identify, train, and advance the next generation of leaders in the legal profession. 
 
Carlton Fields has been a member of the LCLD since 2009 when the organization was founded. The firm’s previous participants in the Fellows program include: M. Derek Harris (2011), Jin Liu (2012), Lori Baggett (2013), Fentrice Driskell (2014), and Shaunda A. Patterson-Strachan (2015). Former firm attorney Penelope Dixon was a Fellow in 2014 prior to her move to serve as in-house counsel at a major corporation.

According to LCLD President Robert J. Grey, Jr., the LCLD Fellows Program offers participants “an extraordinarily rich year of relationship-building, in-person training, peer-group projects, and extensive contact with LCLD’s top leadership.”

Bachman represents a diverse array of health care entities including hospitals and health systems, physician groups, management service organizations, ambulatory surgery centers, and post-acute care providers. She is one of only 128 attorneys in Florida to be board certified in Health Law by The Florida Bar and is also licensed as a Health Care Risk Manager in Florida.

After receiving her law degree, Bachman spent six months as an education fellow at a matriculation school in rural India. As a fellow, she developed and directed an intensive spoken English workshop for elementary school teachers and implemented long-term methods for advancing computer literacy among village students. Bachman is conversant in Gujarati, the state language of Gujarat, India.

Founded in 2009, LCLD is a growing organization of more than 260 corporate chief legal officers and law firm managing partners who are personally committed to creating a more diverse and inclusive legal profession. The LCLD Fellows program, which has trained more than 1,000 mid-career attorneys since 2011, is one of LCLD’s most important initiatives. For information, visit www.lcldnet.org.
