Community Engagement & Inclusion

 

No Obstacles. No Barriers.

 

Our commitment to inclusion and community engagement centers on fostering an environment where everyone has access to the tools, relationships, and opportunities to excel. The story of our founders demonstrates that the legal profession thrives when we welcome the best and brightest, regardless of background, and ensure that talent is met with opportunity. These beliefs strengthen our firm, our profession, and the broader legal system by creating an environment where everyone can contribute (and succeed) at their highest level. We focus on mentorship, sponsorship and community engagement because talent must be cultivated, not just recruited. Ultimately, we believe that being a firm focused on creating opportunities for inclusion among our lawyers strengthens the trust and connection we have with our clients and moves our firm and the legal industry forward.
