We have long understood that our future as a top law firm depends on developing world-class lawyers with a wide range of perspectives and experiences. We therefore regard it as imperative that we create and maintain an environment where all members of our community can flourish.
We support a wide range of organizations aimed at increasing diversity in the legal profession, including the Asian American Legal Defense and Education Fund, Asian American Bar Association of New York, Leadership Council on Legal Diversity (LCLD), Corporate Council Women of Color, Lambda Legal, the Equal Justice Works Fellowship program, the Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under Law, LatinoJustice PRLDEF, the Law Firm Antiracism Alliance, the Leadership Council on Legal Diversity, the National Association of Women Lawyers, the Minority Corporate Counsel Association, The Appellate Project, the Transgender Legal Defense & Education Fund and many more.
Since July 2021, we have participated in Diversity Lab’s Mansfield process, a national initiative designed to ensure that all talent has a fair and equal opportunity to advance into leadership. We received certification as part of the 2023-24 cohort, have signed on to the 2024-25 process and remain committed to the program’s mission.
The firm has also been a proud member of the Diversity & Flexibility Alliance since 2021.
Our inclusion program has been recognized by many of the organizations that monitor such efforts, including Vault and the Chambers Associate satisfaction survey. In 2024 the firm received the Legal Benchmarking Group’s Social Impact Awards for "Disability Program of the Year" and "Social Impact Case of the Year." The firm also earned a perfect score in the Human Rights Campaign Foundation’s 2025 Corporate Equality Index, earning an “Equality 100 Award” as a leader in LGBTQ+ workplace inclusion.
