People-first
Norton Rose Fulbright US LLP is a member of the Norton Rose Fulbright Verein, a Swiss verein, with global operations in more than 50 offices around the world that are committed to creating a workplace environment that is free from discrimination and rooted in our core global business principles of quality, unity and integrity. We believe our people are our greatest assets and we have taken and will continue to take action to ensure all our people have an opportunity to develop and grow professionally and personally.
We have implemented numerous programs, all of which comply with US law, that are designed to create and maintain a workplace environment that fosters respect and open exchange of different ideas where discrimination and bias do not exist. We believe a team made of highly-qualified individuals from all walks of life is a critical element of our delivering the highest levels of client service. In light of recent discourse around the terms, “Diversity, Equity and Inclusion,” we are making changes to our US-based, people-focused information to refocus our efforts on the substance of the ideals as they are reflected by our programs and support for our people.
Our efforts are led by our US Chair of the People First Committee, Katherine Tapley. Our focus areas include:
- Multicultural Council: Co-chairs, Rebecca Abou-Chedid and Daniel Prati
- Pride Network: Co-chairs, Denton Nichols and Mark A. Robertson
- Opportunity for Success Council: Co-chairs, Jamila Mensah and Natasha Robertson
- Women in Norton Rose Fulbright (WiN) Council: Co-chairs, Andrea D'Ambra and Christine Fernandez Owen
