Littler supports the advancement of attorneys from diverse backgrounds through its intentional and meaningful IE&D programs and initiatives.
“Our Best Law Firms for Women and Diversity demonstrate unwavering commitment, despite the uncertainties in the legal field,” said Subha V. Barry, President of Seramount. “I’m proud of the steady and positive change they are driving, even if it’s a gradual process. I applaud these industry leaders for their dedication to cultivating inclusive firm cultures.”
In addition to this recognition, Littler has been widely lauded for its inclusive culture and innovative IE&D programming.
