"This achievement reflects our ongoing dedication to creating a diverse and inclusive opportunity-rich environment where all attorneys can thrive, succeed, and contribute meaningfully to the future of the law and the law firm."
EBG celebrates and emphasizes opportunities for advancement and education through programs such as our longstanding Women’s Initiative, founded in 2002, one of several EBG Affinity Groups that promote an environment of inclusion by supporting diversity awareness and facilitating the building of relationships through shared interests and experiences, building on common and differing backgrounds.
