Workplace Culture & Development

    At Squire Patton Boggs, we are committed and passionate about driving forward a culture of progress within our firm and within the communities where we practice. We champion open dialogue and collaboration and focus on our commitment to ensuring access for all.

    We have taken a comprehensive approach to ensuring that all our people throughout the firm feel welcomed and have an opportunity to succeed, thrive, and fully and fairly pursue their career objectives. Our Global Workplace Culture & Development Office focuses on strengthening our working environment by raising awareness through action, championing allyship, and providing guidance and training to drive meaningful opportunity for all. The team sits in different offices and covers multi-jurisdictions, ensuring that each initiative is globally and locally relevant.

    We look at the entire employee life cycle and center our goals around four strategic pillars: Career, Culture, Community, and Clients. As part of our action plan, we have introduced several measures to improve our approach to recruiting, retaining, and advancing employees. We strongly believe that working with our clients strengthens our ability and outreach. Those important collaborations help us to achieve maximum impact for our people, client interests, local communities, and the broader global society.

    We continuously work to sustain a culture that drives a positive environment which empowers all our colleagues, irrespective of their backgrounds, as we strive to identify, support and nurture the best and the brightest for the benefit of our clients.

    At our firm, we believe that success starts with a strong, supportive culture where every individual has the opportunity to grow and thrive.  Teamwork, collaboration and a dedication to excellence are at the core of everything we do. By fostering a culture of continuous learning and development, we empower our people to reach their full potential, remain engaged and deliver the best possible service to our clients. I am proud to lead a firm where our people not only excel in their careers but also make a meaningful impact in their communities.

By treating everyone with dignity and respect, we cultivate a workplace that is both engaging and productive. By fostering this kind of environment, we create a stronger, more engaged team that delivers exceptional service to our clients.
