Cultivating an environment at Sidley where every person can be the most genuine version of themselves is integral to the quality of legal services we provide to our global client base. The most creative, intellectually successful teams perform best when they encompass diversity of thought, approach, ability, and knowledge. To that end, we bring inclusive teams to our client relationships and diversity partnerships for the widest perspectives and most compelling legal strategies.
Sidley is able to thrive, in no small part, due to our commitment to diversify our ranks, build an inclusive and welcoming culture, and foster inclusion and collegiality within the greater legal profession.
We seek to accomplish these goals by offering a network of support that enables lawyers of diverse backgrounds to succeed — from our first-year associates to those at the partnership level. Lawyers, law students, and our professional staff have a wealth of opportunities to reach their full potential through high-quality educational programming, mentoring, professional development, and affinity initiatives. Even alumni — our extended Sidley family — benefit from the networking opportunities we host, as well as thought leadership and profile-raising platforms.
As advocates for a more equitable society, we are dedicated to supporting and investing in civic and corporate leadership opportunities that celebrate the achievements, history, and culture of diverse global communities. We seek opportunities to join forces with clients and local organizations to further our mutual commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion using the power of the law, advocacy, and education. Our lawyers around the world work collaboratively on a range of matters, including many that contribute to monumental legal decisions that bring hope to marginalized individuals and groups. Together, we can harness the strength of our unique voices and backgrounds to combat injustice and advance and protect the fundamental principles of equality, inclusion, justice, and integrity.
Incidents of racial violence and systemic discrimination, while disheartening, present us with opportunities to exemplify our core values and renew our resolve to support inclusion in the communities where we live and work. This is a pivotal moment in our society. From all corners of the world, people are demonstrating the extraordinary strength that comes from uniting as one to bring about change. Although we are facing new challenges, we, as a firm, will meet them together and are committed to doing everything we can to contribute to a better future for humanity.
