Diversity Statement: Our Firm is committed to the goal of strengthening and advancing diversity through promotion, recruiting and retaining minority and women lawyers and staff personnel from all backgrounds. We recognize that our colleagues (lawyers and staff) are the Firm's greatest assets. In addition, we are committed to sharing client responsibility with minority partners and in developing minority partners and associates for client responsibility. Our History in Diversity: • We were the first majority law firm in the southeastern United States to hire an African-American attorney in the area of representing management in labor relations and employment discrimination law in 1979. • We were also one of the first majority-owned firms in Atlanta with an African-American partner.
