ABOUT THE FIRM

Diversity. Equity. Inclusion.

Who we are

At Chartwell Law, we believe that diversity, equity, and inclusion foster both innovation and a better understanding of ourselves and our clients. Our firm and our clients are enhanced by a workforce that reflects the society in which we live and work. We provide a professional and welcoming community where everyone feels seen, heard, and valued.

With a deep commitment to recruiting, mentoring, and promoting diverse attorneys and staff, we always strive to do better. While we engage in a continuous conversation to seek true equity and inclusion – at Chartwell Law and beyond – we are proud of our progress thus far.

Chartwell Law meets or exceeds many of the national metrics published in the National Association for Legal Placement’s 2023 Diversity Report. NALP, an organization of legal professionals who advise law students and attorneys, collects employment information, and publishes an annual Diversity Report.

Our partnerships

Chartwell Law does not stand alone in its efforts toward inclusivity. We recognize the value in collaborating to reach our goals – and to help others achieve theirs. Our responsibility extends past our office walls, and we are proud of our commitment to numerous organizations and partners in our pursuit of diversity, equity, and inclusion.

Our DEI leadership

Our Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Committee, Women’s Committee, and mentoring program recognize the need for ongoing focus and proactive attention. They pursue our diversity goals through professional development, career and client cultivation coaching, and identification of internal and external opportunities and resources. Members of the firm’s governing committee and the entirety of our ownership are active champions of the ideas and initiatives brought forward through these efforts.
