INCLUSION AT SIDLEY: One Firm, Many Voices

At Sidley, we believe that a welcoming and inclusive culture is the bedrock of our success. We recognize that bringing together individuals from various backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives strengthens the quality of our legal work and continues to position us as a trusted leader in the legal profession. Our commitment to inclusion not only enriches our workplace but also enhances our ability to fulfill our mission in providing the highest quality legal services for our clients.

Embracing Our Values
Since our inception, we have cultivated a workplace culture rooted in mutual respect, open communication, and a deep appreciation for each individual’s unique voice. These core values enable each individual to thrive personally and professionally. We believe the most creative and successful teams embrace diversity in thought, approach, ability, and knowledge. In turn, our teams leverage partnerships with external organizations to gain broad perspectives and develop the most compelling legal strategies.

Investing in Our People
We are dedicated to creating a positive and supportive work environment that empowers every individual, enabling them to reach their full potential. Lawyers, law students, and business professionals from all backgrounds are supported through high-quality educational programs, mentoring, professional development, and affinity initiatives. These opportunities foster a sense of belonging and are open to all. Alumni are an integral part of our extended Sidley family and benefit from the networking opportunities, thought leadership, and profile-raising platforms we provide.

Advocating for Change
Our culture of inclusivity extends beyond our internal operations and into the global communities where we live and work. We leverage our talent to make a positive impact through pro bono work and community activities, while our global team works on matters that contribute to monumental legal decisions that bring hope to marginalized persons and groups. Through these efforts, we stand united in our resolve to combat injustice and promote positive change.
