Commitment to Diversity and Inclusion
Paul Hastings is committed to providing a work environment that offers equal opportunity to all and reflects the diverse communities in which we operate. We seek the best and brightest candidates who will become active contributors to our firm's success – regardless of their race, color, national origin, religion, sex, age, disability, citizenship, marital status, and sexual orientation, or any other status as defined and protected by applicable law.
Past. Present. Future.
Diversity is a fundamental part of the Paul Hastings story. When the firm first opened, our founding partners correctly believed that diverse talent would give the firm a competitive advantage. Over the past 50 years, Paul Hastings has established itself as one of the world's leading law firms and a leader in global diversity.
We are recognized as the firm of choice for diversity and inclusion, and are consistently ranked among the top 40 law firms for gender and ethnic diversity. At Paul Hastings, diversity is real and reflected in our present leaders – more than one-third of our firm’s management and leaders represent gender, ethnic, and LGBT diversity, and in 2009, 60 percent of our newly-elected global partners came from diverse backgrounds.
Our firm’s history tells a story of a long-term dedication to a diverse workplace, and our leadership, recruiting, development programs, sponsorships, and clients demonstrate the opportunities we have leveraged from our founding partners’ pledge to diversity. Ultimately, being diverse is not an option at Paul Hastings. It is who we are.
