At Greenberg Glusker, diversity is more than a core value; it is central to our identity. Founded in 1959 by individuals not welcomed in traditional law firms due to religious discrimination, our firm culture was rooted in diversity and inclusion from the beginning. These principles drive our efforts to recruit, retain, and promote top legal talent from diverse backgrounds. In addition to our recruiting efforts, we strive to create clear and measurable leadership opportunities for women and minorities at all levels within our firm, including on our Management Committee, Chairs of Practice and Industry Groups, and leaders of committees such as Associate and Lateral Partner Recruiting, Mentorship and Strategic Planning. Our attorneys are consistently recognized among the top women and minority attorneys in Los Angeles and California, earning honors such as “Women of Influence: Attorneys”, Los Angeles Business Journal, “Leaders of Influence: Minority Attorneys”, Los Angeles Business Journal, “Law Firm Leaders”, Lawyers of Color, “Top Women Lawyers”, Daily Journal and “Inspirational Women Leadership Awards”, Los Angeles Times B2B Publishing. We offer extensive mentoring, training, and professional development opportunities through our formal mentoring program, Women’s Leadership Group, and marketing/business development training modules.
