Belong As You Are
At Latham & Watkins, you belong as you are.
We aim to help every colleague reach their full potential and achieve success by promoting opportunity while further enhancing our culture of inclusion and sense of community within the law firm. At Latham, you belong as you are.
Our actions are underpinned by the values and principles central to our work:
- Inclusion involves creating a workplace environment that is fully inclusive of all our colleagues, recognizing that our firm is made up of individuals from differing backgrounds, varied life experiences, and a wide-range of personal circumstances. These characteristics are the key to delivering excellent legal services.
- Opportunity recognizes that all of our colleagues, who represent the best and brightest legal talent, deserve the same prospect to reach their full potential for success.
- Community highlights the importance of strengthening a sense of community for all Latham colleagues and investing in our broader communities to expand access to the legal profession.
Leadership Academies
Our firm is composed of people with varying life experience, and we seek to create an environment in which all can succeed. Through this lens, we host a number of Leadership Academies designed to provide a more in-depth focus on leadership and career development strategies within our firm and an ever-changing global legal industry.
Inclusion@Latham
Our firmwide Inclusion@Latham initiative provides colleagues with practical tools and information to strengthen our culture of inclusion.
Expanding Access
Encouraging young people to pursue legal careers begins with educating them early about the legal profession. As such, we support a number of programs aimed at expanding access to the legal profession.
Investing in Our Lawyers
We cultivate each lawyer's individual talents, interests, and competencies through a supportive culture and a suite of programs designed to help them achieve their professional goals and deliver exceptional service to our clients.
