Diversity at Willkie

Willkie Farr & Gallagher LLP are passionate about recruiting, retaining and promoting people from all backgrounds, as they believe everyone thrives in a diverse, inclusive workplace. Their commitment to diversity starts even before you enter the firm, with CV blind interviews and contextual recruitment. The firm’s affinity groups: the LGBTQ+ group and the London Chapter of the Women’s Professional Development (WPDC) are on hand to provide a rewarding and supportive experience to those from underrepresented backgrounds.

For 30 years, the firm has had a Diversity and Inclusion Committee, which lawyers and business service staff are encouraged to join. The committee regularly hosts external speakers for their popular Diversity Speaker Series, with past speakers including Dr Angela-Neal Barnett, Michelle Silverthorn and Dr Tyrone Howard. Topics include: handling the impact of racism, building an inclusive workplace and how to talk to your children about race and racism.
