Diversity at Our Core
Diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) are among our firm's core values and are fundamental to the firm's culture.
More than a noble aspiration, diversity is a key facet of our commitment to client care. Our thoughtful and creative solutions are made possible by an equitable and inclusive environment - one in which every attorney and staff member
can freely contribute their best work. In our experience, diverse teams achieve better results and earn higher levels of client satisfaction.
Our firm's guiding principles, goals, and initiatives are grounded by our belief that DEI must play important roles in everything we do. We not only strive to recruit diverse attorneys but provide opportunities for them to grow, develop and succeed. We also work with clients and other members of the legal community including the Leadership Council on Legal Diversity, Corporate Counsel Women of Color, organizations that promote the development and equitable opportunities for women, local, and national affinity bars, and law schools to continually make the legal profession better.
Thanks to our longstanding commitment and ongoing initiatives, the Human Rights Campaign Foundation has rated us highly in its Corporate Equality Index as one of the "Best Places to Work for LGBTQ+ Equality," marking our 14th year in a row receiving this distinction.
Our firm has also achieved Mansfield 6.0 Certified Plus for 2022-2023. We continue to affirmatively consider at least 30 percent women, attorneys of color, LGBTQ+ attorneys, and attorneys with disabilities for law firm leadership roles, promotions to partner, recruiting, and client pitches by broadening the pool of candidates considered for these positions and opportunities. The firm not only participates in the annual Mansfield certification process; it strives to apply the same criteria to all of our recruiting efforts and all of our committees.
We invite you to explore this section to learn more about how we are creating and sustaining a diverse, welcoming environment.
