Diversity

Diversity in our communities

Schwabe comprises nearly 170 lawyers and over 200 staff from diverse backgrounds—giving back to their communities, doing great legal work for amazing clients, and representing their communities at Schwabe.

To live up to our vision, we must evolve and embrace change as an opportunity. Our efforts to recruit, retain, and promote diverse talent are crucial to advancing cutting-edge solutions that help our clients prosper, innovating within the legal field to improve client service, and cultivating our prized culture of collaboration to reflect the values of our clients.

We recognize we have a long way to go. Our firm, like our profession, still has room to improve and grow. In that spirit, we are actively committed to:

• fostering an environment and culture of belonging where every person feels valued and heard;
• developing cultural competencies at every level of our firm to enhance collaboration;
• evaluating and refining our behaviors, policies, and processes to ensure that our people are well equipped, equitably assessed, and fairly rewarded; and
• leaning into discomfort by inviting and engaging in tough conversations that incite positive change at our firm.

our Mission

We see the world beyond our law firm and are committed to promoting diversity and equity in the legal industry and the community at large.
