Diversity Committee

The importance of diversity and inclusion is embraced by the top leadership of our firm. 

Our program is led by the Co-Chairs of our Diversity Committee, John B. Frisch, Firm Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, and Heidi A. Hansan, a principal in our Transactional Finance Practice Group and an active member of our Recruitment Committee. The program is administered by a woman, Randi S. Lewis, our Director of Diversity & Professional Development. Our Committee is comprised of some of our firm's top leaders and other principals, associates, women, lawyers of color, and gay and lesbian lawyers. Our Committee has an affirmative agenda of initiatives to recruit women and minorities, to assist them in their professional development, and to place them on key client and industry teams and on internal firm committees. Committee members also work closely with Diversity Consultants, Verna Myers & Associates, who have conducted assessments and training on diversity and mentoring.
