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.
