Championing positive change
As a longtime leader in the effort to diversify the legal profession, we know principles fall short unless paired with meaningful actions.
How We Advance DEI
We’re intentionally building a firm that reflects our colleagues, clients, and communities.
Supporting our colleagues
- Network groups with a voice
- Our network groups act as an advisory board for our leadership team. The leaders of our network groups also comprise our Diversity Committee, of which our managing partner and diversity partners are members.
People-centric policies
- Post-parental leave ramp-up policy
- Attorneys returning from parenting leave have a reduced billable hour expectation at full pay for the first six months upon their return.
- Flexible work arrangement policies
- All firm attorneys are offered a number of different, flexible work arrangements to choose from, including full-time remote, in-person, hybrid, and work-from-anywhere options.
