Additional Information

Alston & Bird has been a leader in law firm diversity and inclusion for many years, paving the way with ground-breaking initiatives and programs. It is not by chance that Alston & Bird has built a reputation as one of the country’s best employers, appearing on Fortune magazine’s “100 Best Companies to Work For” for twenty-six consecutive years. We have received national awards and recognition for our diversity and inclusion, including scoring 100% on the Human Rights Campaign Corporate Equality Index for 20 consecutive years.

Alston & Bird has gone beyond a one size fits all blueprint when it comes to inclusion. We understand that creating and maintaining an inclusive environment where everyone feels that they can succeed, that they belong, and that they matter is critical to attracting and retaining top talent. We accomplish this goal with initiatives that include embedding Practice Group Diversity Partners in each of the firm’s practice groups to work to ensure everyone has equal access to meaningful work, client teams, and mentoring. The firm also provides up to 50 hours of billable credit toward associate bonus thresholds for diversity & inclusion leadership activities. Our Firmwide Diversity & Inclusion Committee, led by our full-time Diversity & Inclusion Partner, is dedicated to enabling meaningful, long-term changes that ensure the firm is second to none in attracting, developing, nourishing, and retaining top talent at the firm.
