Diversity and Inclusion
Fried Frank is a stimulating, open-minded and progressive environment, where we respect and build upon the assets and talents of all at the Firm. Our Firm is committed to maintaining an inclusive environment and fostering a professional atmosphere that promotes equal opportunity and prohibits discriminatory practices. The Firm's Diversity Committee provides a forum for identifying, prioritizing and discussing diversity issues, as well as for developing and supporting related initiatives and programs. Our Director of Diversity and Inclusion, Maja D. Hazell, heads an independent department focused on the promotion of diversity at Fried Frank and advises a number of critical Firm committees and departments on best practices for ensuring diversity of our attorneys and staff.
Fried Frank executes various initiatives and programs to support the professional and personal development of women attorneys and attorneys from distinct backgrounds and cultures. We actively support affinity groups for our attorneys of color and lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender attorneys that meet regularly to build community. The Firm also has a thriving women's initiative that presents regular programs to encourage firmwide sensitivity to issues impacting women in the workplace.
We offer a multicultural workplace where difference and individuality is highly valued. Minorities and women lead several Firm practices and participate actively in governance activities, including our chairperson, Valerie Ford Jacob.
At Fried Frank, diversity is a standard principle.
