Diversity
Caplin & Drysdale's commitment to diversity and inclusion infuses our firm-wide strategy and daily operations, and is reflected in both our attorney and professional staff population. We strive to maintain an environment of mutual respect that leverages our collective differences for the development and success of our professionals, and for the betterment of the clients we serve. In this regard, the firm has developed and implemented various professional development and benefits programs designed to support the diverse needs of our professionals and to foster work-life balance. We also actively support affinity groups focused on advocating diversity throughout the legal profession. We strongly believe these values and initiatives translate into a work environment where professionals with different backgrounds and perspectives can engage and collaborate in interesting and satisfying work and realize their full potential.
