The Diversity Committee
Offit Kurman strives to employ attorneys and support staff of various backgrounds in an effort to enhance the overall quality of our legal services. To that end, we have formed the Diversity Committee to identify, recruit and retain successful staff of diverse races, ethnicities, religions, genders, sexual orientation, national origin, disabilities and military service backgrounds. The goal of the Committee is to create and foster an environment under which ample opportunities are provided for professional development and leadership for all staff members, irrespective of one’s personal background or protected classification. As part of its mission, the Committee also meets on a regular basis to discuss workplace culture, as well as the firm’s sponsorship of and participation in relevant community programs that are consistent with the Committee’s mission and goals and objectives.
