Diversity, Equity & Inclusion
Our success as a firm is directly linked to our ability to create a community that is diverse, inclusive, and appreciative of differing points of view. From our roots as members of the Lawyers Commission for Civil Rights to serving as co-founders of the New Jersey Institute for Social Justice, inclusivity is a part of Lowenstein Sandler’s DNA.
Our internal policies include expansive parental leave for opposite-sex and same-sex couples, domestic partner benefits, an on-ramping period following return from parental leave, and flexible work arrangements that respect our employees’ individual work-life demands. Currently, 22 percent of our non-partner attorneys are in alternative career path roles. Remote work, or telecommuting, is available to attorneys. Attorneys also enjoy unlimited vacation time.
Lowenstein’s Employee Resource Groups (ERG) provide forums for career development, personal enrichment, community service, and fellowship. Celebrating cultural and social diversity, our Diversity Leadership Network, LGBTQ Alliance, and Women’s Initiative Network offer exciting programming and a space for authentic engagement for members, the firm, and the community. The Lowenstein Parents Network serves both attorneys and staff and provides much valued support, advice, and resources for the group’s members. The newest ERG, the Women’s Enrichment Initiative, provides professional development and networking opportunities for the firm’s women Business Resource Group members.
Diversity and inclusion training is regularly offered by the firm, touching on a variety of diversity-related topics (e.g., unconscious bias, challenges in the workplace for diverse lawyers).
