We are committed to advancing the development of the talented women in our firm – women hold significant leadership positions at Shearman & Sterling, serving as practice group leaders and policy committee members.
Promoting gender diversity has always been a priority for us, leading to the establishment of several women-oriented initiatives over the years. Some of these are among the first-in-kind for the legal industry. We believe that investing in these initiatives fosters new and strengthened relationships with our colleagues, clients, alumni and other professional women. These ventures allow us to create an inclusive culture that offers a genuinely collaborative work environment.
The women-oriented initiatives we’ve launched provide opportunities for professional development and to build strong relationships internally as well as with the larger legal and business communities. Programs like WISER (the Women’s Initiative for Success, Excellence and Retention) offer our associates a network that works to hire and develop women lawyers, and – equally as important – retain them as they advance in their careers.
Ultimately, our clients benefit from the way we approach their needs. Our inclusive teams provide broader perspectives that can offer unique ways of looking at the issues, which contribute to our goal of providing outstanding client solutions.
