Proskauer is an innovative law firm with 725+ lawyers serving clients from 13 offices located in financial and business centers in North and South America, Europe and Asia. The world’s leading organizations choose us to represent them in their most critical situations. But more, they consider Proskauer a strategic partner in driving their business forward. We represent asset managers, major sports leagues, Fortune 500 companies, entertainment industry legends and other industry-redefining organizations.
Diversity and inclusion are core values that are fundamentally intertwined in Proskauer’s history and culture. We named our Silver Scholar Program, the Firm’s signature scholarship and “pipeline” initiative, after our first elected Chairman, Edward Silver. It is part of the Firm’s multifaceted approach towards increasing diversity within our Firm and the broader legal profession.
Our flagship talent development programs, the Diverse Lawyer Mentoring Circle Program and the Women’s Sponsorship Program, are aimed at expanding opportunities for, and cultivating, our emerging leaders. Our Diverse Lawyer Mentoring Circle Program enhances the integration and career growth of young diverse associates through one-on-one relationships with designated partner mentors. Our Women’s Sponsorship Program propels the careers of mid-level women lawyers who have demonstrated strong promise through pairings with selected sponsors and specialized coaching to prepare them for leadership roles in the future.
CaRe, our caregiver return program, eases the transition of lawyers returning from primary caregiver leave by allowing them to return on a 75% schedule and receive 100% of their pre-leave compensation for their first six months, reaffirming our commitment to supporting the needs of our lawyers at key stages of their lives.
We understand that a diverse workforce enables us to offer the highest quality of service to our clients by affording them the benefits of unique perspectives and approaches to legal issues. At Proskauer, being diverse and inclusive goes beyond doing the right thing, it’s who we are.
