Diversity

Fulbright & Jaworski is committed to the goal of strengthening our diversity through recruiting, retaining and advancing lawyers and staff, regardless of race, color, religion, gender, national origin, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender identity, disability or age.

Our commitment is consistent with our recognition that it is the outstanding people within Fulbright & Jaworski who have always been the source of our strength. Our colleagues (lawyers and staff) are Fulbright's greatest assets. We have long embraced the principles of equal employment opportunity. We further recognize that promoting diversity is an integral component of our continuing quest for excellence as individual attorneys and as a firm.

Fulbright's Diversity efforts are led by its co-chief diversity officers, Ralph Dawson and Harva Dockery. They work with its Diversity Committee, which they co-chair with Tom Godbold and the Women in the Firm and Profession Committee, chaired by Laura McMahon. In addition to those referred to above, the Diversity Committee includes partners Warren Huang, Stacey Martinez, Marilyn Mooney, Joe Park, Anne Rodgers, Lisa Shub, Stephanie Smith, and chief professional development officer Sari Fried-Fiori.  

The Diversity Committee works closely with the Executive Committee to strengthen diversity throughout Fulbright. Of course, each and every one of us must accept responsibility for and do our part to fulfill Fulbright's commitment to diversity. Peggy Heeg and Steve Pfeiffer serve as ex officio members of the Diversity Committee. A Diversity Advisory Committee, comprised of non-partners, is also an integral part of the Fulbright Diversity Team.
