I.         Internal Corporate Efforts:

• What would I&D success look like for corporate in-house law departments in Europe?
  
  
• Are there inclusion or diversity issues that are specific to Continental Europe?
  
  
• What types of internal organizational structures are multinational corporate in-house law departments using, or considering, in order to better promote and advance I&D within the law department?
  
  
• What are some of the most interesting or promising I&D initiatives/programs/policies/strategies that corporate in-house law departments are using in Europe? How do we ensure sustainability? Are there examples of metrics and measurable successes?

II. External Corporate Efforts:

• What kinds of I&D metrics, efforts, initiatives, etc. do European corporate in-house law departments expect or want to see from their outside counsel law firms?

• How are corporate in-house law departments in Europe communicating their interests in, and any concerns about, I&D to their outside counsel law firms?
  

• In Europe, is it preferable for corporate in-house law departments to use positive reinforcement/rewards/awards or punitive actions to encourage more meaningful I&D efforts and achievements among their outside counsel law firms?

• Would it make sense to join or form a group or establish more formal associations for in-house lawyers?
