ABOUT THE FIRM

Diversity. Equity. Inclusion.

Who we are

At Chartwell Law, we know that a diverse, equitable, and inclusive work place drives innovation, strengthens collaboration, and enhances our ability to serve our clients effectively. Our firm thrives on creating an environment where individuals from all backgrounds feel valued, supported, and empowered to succeed.

We are proud to have earned Mansfield Certification, a recognition of our commitment to increasing diversity in leadership by broadening the pool of talent considered for key positions. Our focus on equitable hiring, mentorship, and career advancement reflects our dedication to a legal profession that is as diverse as the communities we serve.

While we continuously strive for progress, we are proud to meet or exceed many of the national diversity benchmarks set by the National Association for Legal Placement (NALP) in its 2023 Diversity Report. We remain committed to challenging ourselves and our industry to reach new levels of inclusivity.

Our partnerships

At Chartwell, we recognize that meaningful change is achieved through collaboration. We actively partner with organizations that share our commitment to advancing diversity, equity, and inclusion in the legal profession and beyond. Our efforts extend beyond our own firm, as we work with clients, industry groups, and community organizations to create a more inclusive future.

Our DEI leadership

Our Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Committee, Women’s Committee, and structured mentoring program provide the foundation for our DEI initiatives. Through leadership development, career coaching, and client cultivation strategies, we create pathways for success at every level. Members of our governing committee and firm leadership actively champion these efforts, ensuring that DEI remains a priority in our policies, practices, and culture.

By creating a workplace where diverse perspectives are celebrated and opportunities are accessible to all, we continue to push the legal industry forward—one meaningful step at a time.
