Diversity at Skadden
Diversity, equity and inclusion are considered fundamental to Skadden's success. We believe that these values bring a wealth of different perspectives to address clients’ most pressing issues across a wide spectrum of industries, geographies, and cultures.
Skadden aims to develop initiatives specifically aimed at addressing diversity, equity, and inclusion goals, including initiatives for recruiting, professional development, attorney retention and advancement, and cross-cultural awareness. These initiatives are continually woven into the fabric of the firm to inculcate inclusion principles.
We have the following affinity networks in the London office:
- AMENA: Asian, Middle Eastern and North African
- BLD: Black Lawyers for Diversity
- Disability and Neurodiversity
- FAM: Parents
- LGBTQ+
- SWAN: Skadden Women Attorney Network
- Social Mobility
Our affinity networks play a key role in our ongoing diversity, equity and inclusion efforts by providing opportunities for peer networking, professional development, workplace inclusion and community building.
Trainee solicitors are very welcome to join the networks.
