Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz maintains a strong commitment to fostering an inclusive and welcoming work environment that supports the recruitment, retention and advancement of individuals of all backgrounds, at all levels of the Firm, and consistent with all legal standards.

The Firm is committed to recruiting a talented body of lawyers with a diverse range of backgrounds and experiences. Since its founding, the prevailing ethos of the Firm has been to operate as a meritocracy, where opportunities for growth and development are available to all.

The Firm participates in a variety of programs and initiatives intended to support the development of future leaders in the legal field, including partnering with bar associations, law schools and networking and mentorship programs.

Within the Firm, we support multiple affinity groups for our attorneys that help to build community. Affinity groups are open to all attorneys.

We also host Firm-wide presentations centered around guest speakers who share their knowledge, expertise and/or professional journey. We have been fortunate to welcome business leaders, general counsel, published authors, judges and law school professors, among others.
