Fox Rothschild celebrates diversity in the workplace. Our attorneys and staff value the opportunity to work with people of diverse backgrounds, cultures and viewpoints. A diverse workplace makes us able to better understand our clients and enhances our workplace experience at the firm. Fox Rothschild continued our 1L Diversity Fellowship Program for the Summer of 2023. The program is open to first-year law students from historically underrepresented groups in the legal profession. The Fox Fellowships are awarded on the basis of academic achievement, demonstrated leadership, strong interpersonal skills, entrepreneurial ambition, and a commitment to diversity and inclusion efforts in the legal community. A number of our attorneys are active in organizations that support minority initiatives both within the legal community and within the larger business community, including:
We also participate in the Lavender Law Conference and Career Fair to recruit LGBTQ candidates. Fox recruits for all 29 of our offices at a variety of law schools and job fairs. |
