Barclay Damon Statement on George Floyd Protests and Need for Systemic Change
From our Diversity Leadership Teams to our innovative Diversity 1L Summer Associate Program, to our award-winning pro bono program and our celebrated Women’s Forum, we are committed to advancing a firm culture where every individual is respected and has the opportunity to excel.
Barclay Damon embraces diversity, equity, and inclusion in the workplace through a commitment to education, dialogue, and relationship building. We strive to offer the highest level of client service and recognize that a collaborative, diverse, equitable, and inclusive community of legal professionals is vital to our success. We celebrate people of all races, gender identities, ages, ethnic and national origins, religions, sexual orientations, and physical abilities.
Diversity, equity, and inclusion are strategic organizational resources, and Barclay Damon supports these values through a variety of initiatives led primarily by the firm’s Diversity Partner Committee and office Diversity Leadership Teams. These groups meet regularly, set annual goals, and plan internal and external activities related to advancing DE&I.
Education and training sessions are offered regularly in both individual discussion settings with the firm’s diversity partner as well as group settings through CLEs and interactive lunch ‘n’ learn presentations from external speakers. Recent presentations have included “Bias Interrupters,” “Microaggressions,” “Implicit and Unintentional Bias,” “Understanding Privilege and Fundamental Concepts for Understanding Diversity,” “Inclusion and Equity,” and “Understanding LGBTQ+ and Intersex.”
