Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI)

Home / The Firm / DEI

Strikowsky Drachman & Shapiro PLLC is uniquely positioned to challenge the old norms and biases embedded in the legal profession. We have designed our law firm to foster a diverse and inclusive environment where everyone is respected, valued, and empowered.  Our firm enjoys the benefit of belonging to the New York City community, and we aim to embrace the City’s diversity in our workplace.  In line with that commitment, we have implemented several initiatives to promote DEI within our firm and in our profession.   

1. Recruitment and Hiring: 
Diverse perspectives allow us to provide the best legal services and innovative solutions to our clients. Our recruitment and hiring practices aim to attract talented individuals from a wide range of backgrounds and experiences. We actively seek candidates who demonstrate a commitment to DEI and who can contribute their personal experience to help us serve our clients.

2. Training and Development: 
Mentoring, learning, and growth comes from everywhere and everyone. We provide ongoing training and development opportunities to our attorneys and staff, and we aim to increase awareness, enhance cultural competency, and create a more inclusive work environment.  

3. Community Engagement: 
As part of our commitment to DEI, we actively engage with our local communities. We collaborate with organizations that support and assist underrepresented groups and advance equality. Our attorneys also dedicate their time and expertise by volunteering and performing pro bono work. 

Our commitment to DEI is deeply personal and built upon our shared experiences of biases and racism experienced in the legal practice.  Our goal is to make a positive impact and create a legal profession that is more equitable, just, and inclusive through continuous learning, growth, and action.
