Diversity
Foley is fully committed to an environment that attracts and sustains diversity of gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation and religion. To achieve that, our mission is to be a law firm that is open and inclusive to, provides mentoring and training opportunities for, and maintains a barrier-free workplace that supports the bias-free promotion of individuals.
Our Diversity Partner, in conjunction with our firm’s management, has defined our diversity mission as follows:
Foley & Lardner LLP is dedicated to fostering an environment that embraces differences, promotes equality, and engenders mutual respect, thereby creating a culture of inclusion where everyone has the opportunity to excel. We are committed to recruiting, retaining and promoting diverse attorneys, thereby resulting in a diversity of perspectives that benefits the firm, our clients and the communities in which we practice.
Through our diversity initiative, and the direct support of the highest levels of our firm, we have established policies and procedures to help us realize our mission. For example, contributing to a diverse workforce in a meaningful way is an important element of our partner compensation program.
It also is the explicit objective of Foley to promote and to invite to partnership diverse attorneys who meet the firm’s criteria for partnership such that, over time, the number of diverse partners will correspond more closely to the percentage of diverse attorneys hired by the firm.
