Diversity, Equity, Inclusion & Belonging
We see tremendous strength in the unique backgrounds and life experiences our people bring to Goodmans, and we have cultivated an environment in which all people can be comfortable being themselves. We are a collection of individuals with distinct backgrounds, ideas, beliefs and contributions, who find strength in our differences. Our goal is to recruit, retain and promote a diverse group of lawyers, students and other professionals, as we are keenly aware varied perspectives and contributions make us stronger together.
Goodmans diversity and inclusion efforts are spearheaded by our Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging Committee, Women’s Success Committee, Firm Leadership and affinity groups. We are committed to building a diverse and inclusive community – both inside, and outside our firm – and encourage you to explore some of the programs we support, groups we are part of, and initiatives we are leading.

Avenue is an internship program to help Black undergraduate students in Canada gain experience in the legal industry. As part of the new program, one student will be offered a professional work placement at Goodmans, where they will benefit from mentorship and leadership development opportunities. If recipients enroll in an LSAT preparation program or apply to law school within three years from the end of their summer internship, they will also receive a grant of up to $3,000 to cover the cost of an LSAT preparation course or law school application fees.
