For more than a century, Jenner & Block has led the fight for social justice and civil rights, in court rooms and in our communities, and we are proud to reaffirm these values every day through our advocacy and leadership to advance diversity, equity, and inclusion within the firm and across the legal community.

As a firm driven by our values—excellence; collaboration; diversity, equity, and inclusion; and pro bono and public service—our strength lies in our people and is enhanced by the diverse backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives they bring to our work. Each year, we reinforce our commitment to making Jenner & Block a leader in diversity, both in the legal profession and in society. Our Management and Policy Committees, and the leadership of our practices and offices, are more diverse than ever. And, more diverse professionals—lawyers and professional staff, alike—are choosing Jenner & Block and building impactful careers. We are delighted to share some of their stories with you in this year’s report.

With each issue of Equal Time—now in its 22nd year—we are reminded of how far we have come and re-energized by all that remains to be achieved in the fight for equality. In Equal Time, you will read about our efforts, as advocates for justice, to carry that fight to the communities we serve through our legal work. Through advocacy and action, we remain deeply committed to being a catalyst for progress in the legal community and beyond. 

We are proud to celebrate our commitment to diversity and hope you enjoy this year’s issue of Equal Time.
