DEI Statement

DIVERSITY in the workplace is both a moral imperative and a business necessity. Plunkett Cooney values the contributions brought to the firm by a workforce diverse in background, life experience, and cultural perspective. To celebrate diversity is to acknowledge, respect, appreciate and value individual differences. Characteristics that make us diverse include, but are not limited to, age, race, nationality and ethnicity, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, religious beliefs and marital status.

In today's competitive business environment, our clients expect and demand legal services providers who reflect the diversity of the communities in which we practice. Plunkett Cooney is committed to diversifying its workforce, its clientele and its use of vendor goods and services. Our commitment to diversity serves to advance each of the strategic goals established for the firm. To secure our continuing dedication to the principle of workforce diversity, Plunkett Cooney has developed policies to recruit, train, mentor and maintain a diverse team of exceptional professionals, paralegals, and support staff members.
