Diversity

Write a review

At Jackson Walker, we believe that diversity makes us better. By actively recruiting, retaining, and advancing a diverse workforce, we are better equipped to serve our sophisticated, global clients and to contribute to making our communities better places.

We foster diversity by promoting a culture in which all individuals are afforded the opportunity to excel. Our Diversity Committee (whose membership is made up of both lawyers and staff) develops and administers our goals, and provides advice and recommendations in order to improve our diverse workplace.

Jackson Walker is proud of the diversity we have achieved in our firm. As a result of our targeted efforts:

Nearly 50 percent of the firm's associates are women, and more than 25 percent are members of ethnic minorities.

For the past 5 years, at least 50 percent of the firm's new partners have been women. In 2014, Jackson Walker promoted more women to partnership than any other Texas firm.

More than 75 percent of the attorneys hired by the firm in 2013 were women and minorities.
