Our firm attracts and advances professionals with exceptional credentials who demonstrate our same passion for excellence and impact. Our culture thrives because we create an environment where everyone is genuinely welcomed, respected and valued. The foundation of our culture of excellence lies in an environment that empowers individuals to express themselves with authenticity, engage in more honest communication, and contribute perspectives that spark connections and harness the full spectrum of our creativity and experiences.

Stradley Ronon’s culture is built on the principle that skill, effort and outcomes determine one’s professional journey, creating pathways for the most talented individuals to excel regardless of background or identity. To sustain our culture, we identify and eliminate barriers to equal access and opportunity and proactively implement safeguards against bias in our hiring, assessment and promotion practices. These initiatives strengthen our entire organization and uphold our core belief that a truly inclusive, equitable workplace maximizes both individual potential and collective excellence.

A Culture of Belonging

  • Law clerk Lety Covarrubias presents during the firm's Día de Los Muertos event.

  • Partner Shawn Hendricks speaks at the firm's Black Brilliance event.

In further support of these values, we build a sense of belonging through consistent opportunities for meaningful connections between and among our lawyers and business professionals. We regularly host firmwide cultural programming driven by our five engagement groups, which are open to all members of the firm, without exception, and led by those who identify as Asian American or Pacific Islander (AAPI), Black or African American (BSU), queer or LGBT+ (Q&A), Jewish (S-JEN) and Hispanic or Latinx (HOLA). We are especially proud to offer relevant, thought-provoking events that honor diverse histories while unifying our organization under a shared culture of inclusion and support.

Our firm’s identity extends beyond our legal accomplishments and client roster. At our core, we are a professional community dedicated to staunch advocacy for both our clients and one another. These fundamental values have been the cornerstone of our success over the last century and provide clear guidance for our collective path forward.
