Many firms talk about their diversity aspirations. At Polsinelli, we have seen how creating the most welcoming and inclusive law firm environment produces results. We ask the hard questions and seek answers through novel and often counterintuitive approaches. This has caused us to explore new methods for mentoring and training and rethink how we recruit and retain talent. Our willingness to deviate from the mainstream allows us to stand out in a competitive market for top talent.
While some believe that the issues surrounding diversity are intractable, at Polsinelli, we know that through commitment, determination, and focus, we will successfully achieve a true workplace that celebrates each of our unique backgrounds. That is why we use objective data to improve how, when, and where we recruit attorneys and assemble pitch and client-service teams. And while data can be used to determine whether junior attorneys are receiving equivalent training opportunities, we also dedicate award-winning resources to ensure personal connectivity across the firm so that each of us feels a true sense of belonging within the Polsinelli family.
Polsinelli’s goal is for every individual to feel supported regardless of what position they hold. We are not trying to create a homogenous workplace. Rather, we are creating an environment where every employee retains their unique character and persona to contribute to the greater team. Our different perspectives, backgrounds, and experiences heighten our ability to serve both our internal and external clients. Because we continuously challenge here-to-before accepted thinking and actions surrounding diversity, we are what a law firm should be.
