Brown Rudnick is an equal opportunity employer. All persons are afforded equal opportunity in every area of hiring and employment without regard to race, color, religion, age, gender, sexual orientation, national origin, marital status, disability or veterans status. We are an active member of the Boston Lawyer's Group (which promotes the hiring and retention of attorneys of color in the Boston area) and participate in the Group's Mentor Program. As a further commitment to this organization, we are pleased to welcome the BLG into our Boston offices where they will reside for a two-year period, from 2006 to 2008. Brown Rudnick also participates in local minority programs and job fairs, and we strongly encourage candidates of color to contact us.

While diversity has been a stated value and active mission of the firm for many years, we recently identified several diversity initiatives to focus on and measure ourselves against. Under the administration of Brown Rudnick’s Diversity Committee, we are committed to providing diversity training to members of our Hiring Committee and to our management teams on an ongoing basis. Beyond these groups, we are also planning diversity awareness programs and leadership workshops.

All employees of the firm are encouraged to participate in and provide input on these initiatives as they continue to evolve.
