This year's LSL class includes 60 participants representing area companies, schools and universities, nonprofits and government organizations. LSL is one of six leadership programs offered by FOCUS St. Louis to achieve its mission of educating and connecting leaders to collaborate towards a thriving St. Louis region.

In her representation of corporate clients on workplace compliance and due-diligence issues, Fatima assists with I-9 matters as well as audits conducted by the Department of Labor or the Department of Homeland Security. She also assists corporate clients involved in mergers and acquisitions to ensure that foreign employees involved in a corporate reorganization maintain their immigration status. Fatima is also dedicated to community service and serves on the boards of various bar associations and civic organizations in St. Louis.
Leadership St. Louis is designed to challenge participants’ thinking, expose them to new ideas and perspectives, and promote discussion, reflection, and action.
