Performing Self-Assessment on Diversity
The Bar association recommends that law firms conduct frequent diversity assessments to ensure the employees and the firm’s culture support diversity and inclusion. Questions we often consider to ensure we are all-inclusive include:
- Are our legal professionals improving their efforts to support diversity and inclusion?
- Is the leadership team spearheading the campaign for diversity and inclusion within the firm?
- Is the firm ensuring opportunities are equally available for all groups of people?
- Are the top attorneys mentoring those with insufficient knowledge of diversity?
The Sorenson Law Firm continues to ensure we not only add diverse people but also include them in leadership positions, business development, high-profile matters, and client-facing opportunities.
We also strive to create a culture that doesn’t entertain discrimination and harassment toward certain groups. We often encourage discussions about diversity and the challenges our diverse legal professionals face inside and outside the firm. We also stress the importance of listening to and appreciating the unique challenges diverse attorneys face. Creating this culture helps our clients feel safe and understood from the onset.
Affinity Groups
As The Sorenson Law Firm grows, we plan on having more affinity groups that help our attorneys from diverse groups thrive and become successful. These groups provide support, mentorship, business development, networking, and educational opportunities. The members will also be able to celebrate the unique qualities they bring to the firm.
