Diversity

Katten Muchin Rosenman LLP is dedicated to increasing the participation and fostering the leadership of women and minorities within the firm and in the broader legal community. Consistent with our founding principles of client service and legal innovation, diversity is one of the core values by which we do business every day. We actively promote a diverse culture through our recruitment, mentoring, training, professional development and public service programs. Diverse individuals are engaged at all levels within our firm, from the board of directors to managing partners to associates.

As a result of our diversity efforts, Katten has been repeatedly named one of the Top 100 Law Firms for Diversity and one of the Top 50 Law Firms for Women by MultiCultural Law magazine. In 2007, 2008 and 2009 the firm also was included on Working Mother magazine and Flex-Time Lawyers’ list of the 50 Best Law Firms for Women. In addition, Working Mother magazine named the firm among its 100 Best Companies in 2007, 2008 and 2009. Katten was one of only four law firms in the country to make the 100 Best Companies list and the only Chicago-based firm included.

Katten’s Diversity Committee guides firm leadership in implementing strategies to increase, enhance and sustain diversity within the firm. Composed of seventeen partners who represent each of our major offices, including the National Managing Partner, the Chief Diversity Officer and members of the Board of Directors and Executive Committee, the Diversity Committee serves as the primary advisory group to the Committee on Racial and Ethnic Diversity, the Minority Associates Committee, the Women's Leadership Forum and the GLBT Coalition.
