Diversity & Inclusion Diversity Contact: Ms. Brenda Carr Diversity Website/URL: https://www.arnoldporter.com/en/about/diversity Organization Narrative Arnold & Porter has approximately 1,000+ lawyers across nine domestic and four international offices. Our Firm’s domestic offices are located in (listed by number of attorneys): Washington, DC, New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Chicago, Silicon Valley, Denver, Houston, and West Palm Beach. International offices include (listed by number of attorneys): London, Frankfurt, Brussels, and Shanghai. Our Firm draws heavily upon our rich history and experience that enables us to hold true to our core values of excellence in the practice of law; adherence to the highest standards of ethics and professionalism; appreciation and respect for diversity among our colleagues; and a deep commitment to public service and pro bono. Arnold & Porter provides our attorneys with a highly sophisticated platform that allows them to utilize a wide array of legal skills in an environment that is centered around community. Our legal work is both varied and engaging, often involving major economic and public policy issues for both commercial and pro bono clients. We share a common devotion to providing first-class legal work to our clients, and do so with originality, respect, and independent judgment. Our Firm encourages attorneys at all levels to freely express their views on substantive and firm matters. In addition to conducting research and drafting documents, junior associates prepare and examine witnesses in depositions, write briefs, participate in trials, attend meetings with clients, and participate in negotiations. Arnold & Porter operates within a practice group structure and considers a variety of factors in the assignment process, including: new associates’ interests, the needs of the practice and our Firm in general, and the ability to develop legal skills on active matters. After initial practice group assignments are determined, most associates begin working on multiple matters within their group. However, cross staffing opportunities may be available as business needs arise. We are committed to the training and professional development of our associates at every level through focused retreats and regularly scheduled core curriculum programs. For all attorneys, Arnold & Porter offers comprehensive professional development programs which include introductory and advanced training in multiple areas of the law; skills training in the areas of communication, business, management, leadership, and technology; a "real-time" training program that allows junior attorneys to shadow and observe more senior attorneys in daily practice during activities such as client meetings, depositions, and hearings; and a mentoring program that pairs new associates with more experienced associates to aid in the attorneys' integration into our Firm on a professional and social basis. Arnold & Porter is focused on supporting the career trajectory of all of our attorneys and has invested in a variety of resources to support attorney development, including in-house career counselors who work one-on-one with attorneys with the advancement of their careers. Associates contribute to our Firm in a variety of ways including: training, mentoring, diversity and inclusion, pro bono, business development and recruiting. Involvement in such activities provides an opportunity to build leadership skills and promote the exchange of ideas among Partners, Counsel, Associates and Management. Diversity and Inclusion is a cultural cornerstone for Arnold & Porter. We are committed to supporting an environment where talent thrives and our collective success is the standard of excellence. Our commitment to cultivate and maintain a diverse workforce remains at the core of our recruiting, retention and promotion efforts as we strive to maintain a firm culture that taps into the potential of every employee. Arnold & Porter views pro bono as an essential part of our legal responsibility to the underserved community. Beyond our commitment to, and belief in, the importance of justice and legal parity, an active pro bono practice promotes skills training and exposure to increased responsibilities for associates and enables all lawyers to fulfill their professional obligation to provide pro bono legal services. At Arnold & Porter, our summer associates receive high quality, intellectually stimulating work assignments that offer exposure to a wide range of our attorneys and practice groups. We look for summer associates who are motivated professionals that demonstrate initiative, and possess an eager curiosity about our work, our clients, and our Firm. Through our summer staffing program, we encourage summer associates to work on projects from the practice groups that best assist them to achieve their individual goals. Summer associates participate in training sessions and are given substantive responsibilities on a variety of projects including legal research, drafting, negotiations, closings, client conferences and court proceedings. Summer associates are encouraged to work on pro bono cases across a wide range of areas. In addition, similar to our associates, we offer our summer associates a mentor program and encourage regular feedback, within and outside of the formal evaluation program. NALP is committed to helping make the legal profession accessible to all individuals on a non-discriminatory basis. NALP is opposed to discrimination based upon actual or perceived gender, age, race, color, religion, creed, national or ethnic origin, disability, sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, genetic information, parental, marital, domestic partner, civil union, military, or veteran status.
