Supplier Diversity Program

Overview

Diversity, equity, and inclusion are core values at Nixon Peabody—and we strive to live out these principles every day. As part of our commitment to diversifying the legal profession, we have updated and revitalized our Supplier Diversity Program, designed to ensure that the vendors and suppliers we work with reflect the clients and communities we serve.
