Diversity and Inclusion
Ours is a stimulating, open-minded and progressive environment, where we respect and build upon the assets and talents of everyone at the Firm.
Diverse perspectives enrich the experience of our colleagues and, ultimately, the service we provide to our clients. We actively seek to reflect the diversity of the global community in which we work and live.
Our Firm is committed to maintaining an inclusive environment and fostering a professional atmosphere that promotes equal opportunity and prohibits discriminatory practices. Our Diversity Committee provides a forum for identifying, prioritizing and discussing diversity issues, as well as for developing and supporting related initiatives and programs.
Our Director of Diversity and Inclusion heads an independent department focused on the promotion of diversity at Fried Frank and advises a number of critical Firm committees and departments on best practices for ensuring diversity of our attorneys and staff.
We offer a multicultural workplace where difference and individuality is highly valued. Fried Frank executes various initiatives and programs to support the professional and personal development of women attorneys and attorneys from distinct backgrounds and cultures. Minorities and women lead several Firm practices and participate actively in governance activities, including our chairperson, Valerie Ford Jacob.
We actively support affinity groups for our attorneys of color and lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender attorneys that meet regularly to build community.
The Firm also has a thriving women's initiative that presents regular programs to encourage Firm-wide sensitivity to issues impacting women in the workplace.
At Fried Frank, diversity is a standard principle.
