Fourth Consecutive Year of 100% Participation in Diversity & Inclusion for U.S. Lawyers and Non-Lawyer Timekeepers
Hunton Andrews Kurth LLP is pleased to announce in fiscal year 2024, 100% of the firm’s full-time U.S. lawyers participated in Diversity & Inclusion initiatives, activities, and events. For the fourth consecutive year, our lawyers and non-lawyer timekeepers upheld the firm’s mission to build and leverage a diverse and inclusive professional community. There were 678 Hunton lawyers who recorded over 10,000 D&I hours across the U.S. Moreover, the firm’s non-lawyer timekeepers entered more than 200 of those D&I hours.
“Our lawyers prove every day what it means to be a Diversity & Inclusion Champion,” said managing partner, Sam Danon. “Lawyers and professional staff at Hunton strive, not only to uphold D&I as our core values, but demonstrating how allyship and a positive work environment, join us all together, for the benefit of our colleagues, clients, communities, and our firm.”
Diversity and inclusion are core values at Hunton, and we support a range of initiatives, giving our lawyers the opportunity to be an active participant and contribute in meaningful ways to the D&I programs. The firm has found that a diverse, inclusive workforce optimizes the delivery of outstanding client service and promotes a culture of respect, collaboration, involvement, and empowerment. Each fiscal year, the firm provides up to 25 billable hour credits to eligible associates and non-lawyer timekeepers for diversity and inclusion events.
Hunton Andrews Kurth’s commitment to diversity and inclusion is longstanding, with the firm’s first diversity committee having been established over 30 years ago. Reaching 100% participation in D&I activities reflects the dedication to this commitment by the firm as a whole.
