Inclusion & Culture

At Cleary, all members of our community are deserving of respect and appreciation for the contributions that they make as individuals within our firm.

This principle was central to our firm’s founding and we embed it in the way that we work by ensuring everyone has equal opportunities to develop and succeed.

Our culture of inclusion is reflective of our global legal practice. We collaborate daily with clients around the world on complex and innovative matters. Our entire team benefits from interacting with individuals from all backgrounds and perspectives. When we recruit and nurture the best talent, we can more effectively serve our clients.

We support our people, ensure equal opportunity and enhance our culture of belonging, collaboration and innovation by offering a wide range of initiatives to all our attorneys and personnel. These include our leadership and professional development curricula, and our sponsorship and mentorship programs. We enhance our culture of belonging through our organizational partnerships, affinity groups, working groups and committees, as well as our heritage month celebrations.

We encourage engagement from our people in a variety of ways, including our global engagement survey, upward feedback, and an open door policy. We believe all have a part to play in making Cleary an inclusive and inspiring place to work.

Cleary commits to providing equal employment opportunities. Firm-sponsored programming and initiatives are open to all, regardless of race, color, citizenship, national origin, sex, gender identity or expression, age, sexual orientation, disability, religion, or any other characteristic protected by law.
