The firm takes pride in the racial, gender, ethnic and religious diversity reflected by its attorneys and staff. Each of our offices reflects the diversity and makeup of the regions we serve.
Our organization was built upon teamwork and equal opportunity.
We will continue to be successful when people are treated fairly, allowed to advance and achieve their full potential. We are proud of the fact that we extend equal employment opportunities to all qualified employees and applicants without regard to race, color, religion, sex (including pregnancy and gender identity, and sexual orientation), age, national origin, genetic information or disability, which if needing accommodation, may be reasonably accommodated as required by law.
Diversity is more than just the visible aspects of a person such as race and gender, but also includes the unique cultural, cognitive, and experiential characteristics each person possesses that bring value to an organization. Our organizational goal is to hire and promote department managing attorneys, associate attorneys and staff members who are rich in diversity.
