Diversity, Equity, And Inclusion At Finnegan

At Finnegan, we believe that a successful Diversity, Equity & Inclusion program must encompass recruitment, training, and mentoring/sponsorship programs. One of the ways we are measuring success across these efforts includes hands-on opportunities to interact directly with clients and opportunities to influence decision-making within the firm.

Approximately 40% of our associate pipeline is Diverse (including: women, LGBTQ+, and attorneys of color), and we continue working diligently to enhance the diversity of our future associate classes.  For instance, in summer 2020 approximately 70% of our summer class was Diverse.

We are committed to hiring a Diverse pipeline of associates with partnerships at historically Diverse engineering and science undergraduate and graduate programs educating Diverse students on careers in intellectual property law. We also cast a wide net in our search for identifying and hiring qualified Diverse law students.
