PayPal has warned its external legal advisers that work may be lost if they fail to make progress on the issue of diversity in the workplace, reports Legal Weekly<\/a>.\u00a0 This communication arose on the back of PayPal\u2019s diversity review led by its Chief Business Affairs and Legal Officer, Louise Pentland a champion of workplace diversity. PayPal\u2019s future collaborations in the legal world will be with law firms who are committed to embedding diversity and inclusion into their culture.<\/p>\n
