Bricker & Eckler seeks to promote the treatment of every employee, partner, applicant and client with dignity and respect, recognize and value the contributions that each of those individuals makes, enable our colleagues to be comfortable being themselves, and encourage individuals to realize their full potential.

We believe that diversity in backgrounds, experiences and perspectives enriches our lives and enhances the quality of our work. Our differences enable us to evaluate problems in the workplace from a fresh viewpoint and to be creative, thereby strengthening our collaborative approach.

Thus, in addition to those assurances outlined in our equal opportunity employment policy, our firm wide commitment is to:

• Foster a firm culture that supports and encourages inclusiveness, so that all attorneys and staff recognize that they are respected and valued.

• Facilitate diversity in all aspects of the firm’s programs, benefits, administration, and operations.

• Increase the recruitment, retention, development, and promotion of attorneys and staff from diverse ethnic and cultural backgrounds.

• Promote and support diversity in the communities that we serve and the legal community. Collaborate with clients, nonprofit organizations and bar associations to encourage diversity awareness
