Wiley Rein strives to be a leader among law firms in diversity. To attain this goal, the firm undertakes focused and targeted efforts through participation in minority law student events and through active participation in minority bar associations. The firm continues to strengthen and advance a commitment to diversity by identifying innovative programs and initiatives, and by developing and maintaining policies and practices that promote diversity and inclusion. Many of our attorneys devote hundreds of hours annually attending events, speaking and networking to further our diversity efforts.
