Diversity

Diversity is important to creating an environment that allows our firm to attract and retain a diverse pool of talented attorneys, foster a supportive work environment for all employees and raise awareness within our firm of important diversity issues.

The firm has taken on a number of initiatives to support its commitment to diversity:

• The Diversity Committee at SRZ ensures that the firm's diversity initiatives continue to be successful and that we are proactive with respect to our diversity commitment goals.
  
  
• We are a signatory to the Association of the Bar of the City of New York's Statement of Goals for Increasing Minority Representation and Retention. As part of that commitment, we have increased our efforts to hire minority lawyers by interviewing at a broader range of law schools and regional BLSA job fairs. We also sponsor the Lavendar Law Career Fair held during the National Lesbian and Gay Law Association's Annual Conference.
  
  
• We also are committed to religious diversity, and accommodate dietary needs and religious observances. Our attorneys have a diverse range of beliefs and goals; we recognize that, in order to achieve a balanced life for our lawyers, we must respect and accommodate these differences.
