Diversity

We believe that our law firm, and the communities in which we live and work, must be committed to building a professional and cultural environment of inclusion. Men and women of different backgrounds, perspectives, beliefs and cultural and ethnic heritages can thrive at our Firm, and in our state. We also believe that a diverse workforce improves our judgment and helps us to understand a wider variety of clients and client issues. As the business community grows more diverse and increasingly global, our commitment to diversity will help us better understand and serve our clients' needs.

We strive to foster a firm-wide culture that values and promotes diversity so that all attorneys and staff are included, valued and positioned for success. We recruit, promote and retain attorneys and staff of diverse backgrounds that reflect the varied backgrounds of the clients and communities we serve.

Diversity Activities
Highlights of some of the Firm's honors and other outreach activities include:

• Named a Top Milwaukee Workplace by the Business Journal
• Legal Education Opportunities - The Firm is a regular contributing sponsor of the activities of the LEO organization. Each year the LEO Banquet celebrates the contributions of the University of Wisconsin Law School toward opening legal education to qualified students of all backgrounds and to diversifying the legal profession in Wisconsin, the nation and the world.
• Godfrey & Kahn Employee Cultural Celebrations - The Firm hosts all-employee events commemorating holidays or cultural events important to a minority group so that we can appreciate each other's heritage. We invite guest speakers and offer dining experiences reflective of the celebration.
