Currently, the firm’s diversity, equity, and inclusion committee consists of 12 members with a wide range of backgrounds and skills, who meet bi-monthly with a structured agenda to discuss and plan internal and external facing initiatives, strategies, budgeting, challenges, goals and brainstorm new ideas for the future of the firm.

To help achieve these goals, the DEI committee created an annual scholarship program providing $2,500 each to two diverse and women law students from local universities. The scholarships are designed to assist deserving students with direct or indirect costs of attending law school. The goal is to help lessen the financial burden of earning their Juris Doctorate so the student can focus more on their education and worry less about how they might pay off their debt. We also are in the process of creating an additional scholarship in honor of the firm’s first woman shareholder to increase our impact on these efforts.
