Paul Hastings
At Paul Hastings, diversity is a core value because it’s smart business.
Our clients are global, diverse and operate in a complex legal environment. Our experience is that talented and diverse teams produce the most innovative and effective legal solutions for our clients, and our clients agree. As a result, we field client service teams comprised of gifted lawyers from a wide variety of backgrounds, experiences and cultures. Providing market- leading client service is one reason that diversity is a key element of our business strategy and our brand.
Our success depends on our attracting talented lawyers as they enter the legal workforce for the first time. These newly minted lawyers have grown up in a world that is more diverse and globally integrated, and their personal, professional and social values reflect those experiences. Paul Hastings’ workforce is a tangible embodiment of those values, and that is a key reason why we attract the best talent.
Paul Hastings has long recognized that active stewardship of our diversity goals by our Firm’s leaders is a critical component to our successfully incorporating diversity into the Firm’s business strategy, professional culture and core values. This is why, in addition to my role as the Firm’s Managing Partner, I serve as co-chair of our Diversity Council. My direct involvement helps ensure that our diverse lawyers thrive because they enter into a professional environment that is rich with opportunity for development, growth and advancement.
