Diversity & Inclusion
At FormanWatkins, our job is to provide clients with the best solutions for sophisticated legal issues. In our experience, the most innovative ideas are created when a divergence of perspectives and backgrounds come together. For this reason, Diversity & Inclusion is critical at FormanWatkins, and we strive continuously to honor individuality and equality. We celebrate the unique experiences of each member of our team and, through dialogue and collaboration, inspire inclusion throughout our entire firm.

"As a female attorney, I wanted to work at a firm where I would be given equal opportunities and responsibilities. I chose to work at FormanWatkins because I saw firsthand that female attorneys were deeply involved in the decision-making process at the Firm. During my time at FormanWatkins, I have continued to witness that commitment to diversity and equality. Being a member of the firm's Diversity & Inclusion Committee has given me an opportunity to speak on women's issues in the profession not only within the firm but also in the legal community."
FormanWatkins’ culture of inclusion and commitment to diversity is supported by thoughtful planning and measured through intentional action. Our Diversity & Inclusion Committee was established to facilitate programming that would encourage the representation of diverse perspectives, backgrounds, and experiences at every level of the firm. Since its inception, the Committee has worked with the firm’s leadership to incorporate its goals into the management of the firm.

"We want a community at work that matches the community around us with its array of perspectives. We want our diversity to strengthen our problem solving and communication skills by bringing together individuals with different backgrounds to address concerns confronted by our clients."
We believe that our commitment is best demonstrated through the work of our people. Therefore, in a time where firms choose to simply write a check, FormanWatkins makes it a priority to actively engage in diverse and inclusive endeavors, both internally and in the local communities we serve.
