With Veterans Day this month, the Utah Center for Legal Inclusion (UCLI) wishes to honor those who have served our country and continue to make a difference in their communities. This year, we spotlight Engels Tejeda, a veteran, attorney, and advocate for inclusion in the legal field.
Engels’ journey from the Dominican Republic to becoming a partner at Holland & Hart is inspiring and a testament to the unique strengths veterans bring to the legal profession. His path was shaped by hard work, mentorship, and the values instilled in him through his military service. Today, Engels gives back through initiatives like the Utah Law Student Mentoring Program, which connects diverse law students with career development opportunities and support. His story, which you can read more about here, is a reminder that veterans enrich our community through service in and out of uniform.
At UCLI, we are committed to celebrating the contributions of veterans in law and advocating for inclusion across all sectors. If you know a veteran in the legal community whose story deserves to be shared, we encourage you to reach out to . Your contribution will help us continue this critical conversation and honor the service of our veterans.
