Diversity

The law firm of Tucker Ellis & West fosters a culture of inclusion, and within that culture we support diversity of age, gender, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, disability, religion, and belief systems. We actively encourage people to use the richness of diverse backgrounds to support our communities, our clients, our firm and each other.

Our firm has taken, and will continue to take, specific actions to promote diversity both within our firm and in the business and professional community. We continue to develop an environment in which differing points of view and backgrounds are sought and valued. We strive to make inclusiveness and diversity a part of how our firm goes about each and every workday.  Click here to learn more about what we're doing.

We expect our firm management to take a leadership role in issues of diversity and to develop strategies for the recruitment, hiring, training, retention and advancement of women and minorities. Recruiting priorities include: identifying and recruiting women and minority candidates for attorney and staff positions; retaining women and minority members of our work force; and promoting qualified women and minorities to senior management positions when appropriate.   Click here to learn about our Summer Recruiting Program.
