Our diversity efforts encourage and enhance our strengths by leveraging individual backgrounds, talents, perspectives and skills. To ensure that we fulfill our commitment to diversity and inclusion in the workplace and in the legal profession, we have a comprehensive program to educate our attorneys and staff about key diversity and inclusion principles, awareness and understanding of cultural backgrounds and differences, the benefits of embracing diversity and inclusion, barriers to diversity and inclusion, and overcoming these barriers. In addition, the firm supports a variety of gender, racial, ethnic and sexual orientation diversity programs, organizations and associations.

Cadwalader's diversity efforts were recognized by Minority Law Journal in its 2009 Diversity Scorecard. The publication ranked the firm as one of the top 100 law firms in the country for diversity.
