Thompson Coburn partners Fatima Khan and Bob Wallace, Jr. were selected among the winners of Missouri Lawyers Media’s Diversity & Inclusion Awards for 2024. They will be recognized in a virtual event August 8 that will celebrate top attorneys and professionals from across the state who have helped to advance DEI initiatives.
The program will recognize one law firm; two law firm diversity, equity and inclusion committees; 12 individual attorneys; and three DEI professionals. The honorees are those “who are significantly advancing diversity, inclusion and the dignity of all people in Missouri’s legal profession and in communities in which exceptional legal work impacts justice for all.”
Fatima Khan has practiced exclusively in the area of immigration and nationality law for nearly two decades, helping employers address the immigration status of foreign national employees. Bob Wallace leads the firm’s sports law group and is the former executive vice president and general counsel of the then-St. Louis Rams, where he was one of the highest-ranking Black club executives in the NFL.
