Our firm is committed to the goal of strengthening our diversity through recruiting and retaining attorneys and staff from all backgrounds. We have long embraced the principles of equal employment opportunity. We believe that diversity and inclusiveness enriches the Firm as a workplace and should reflect the diverse cultures and backgrounds of our community. We are committed both to maintaining our workplace free from discrimination and harassment based on legally recognized protected classes. We further recognize that promoting diversity is an integral component of our continuing quest for excellence as individual attorneys and as a firm. We are committed to participate in opportunities outside the firm to explore diversity initiatives with clients, bar associations and minority organizations that share this common objective.
