Diversity, Equity & Inclusion

We are dedicated to establishing a workforce that reflects the needs and interests of our clients and a work environment that provides opportunities for people with varied backgrounds. 

We’re built on a foundation of diversity. And this begins with the law schools where we seek to recruit diverse classes of summer associates and support the needs of underrepresented students through the Gerald Marcus Fellowship. We also help students from diverse backgrounds prepare for professional careers through the firm’s annual 1L Interview Workshop, now in its twentieth year, and have joined the effort to provide greater opportunities reflected in the BASF’s Goals and Timetables, Mansfield Certification, and the No Glass Ceiling Initiative.

We’re committed to increasing diversity in the profession and know the importance that a diversity of perspective and backgrounds brings to both the success of our firm and to our clients. We uphold this commitment by playing a leading role in the California Minority Counsel Program (CMCP), Leadership Council on Legal Diversity (LCLD), Minority Corporate Counsel Association (MCCA), and Bay Area Lawyers for Individual Freedom (BALIF) and seek to provide meaningful support to bar and community organizations that assist underrepresented communities.
