Sterne Kessler Goldstein Fox

At Sterne Kessler, our commitment to diversity is not limited to programs and policies.  It's about our values and how we translate them into daily actions.  It's the way we speak to and treat one another.  We have a collegial and multicultural workplace that fosters opportunities for personal and professional growth.  Our commitment to diversity and inclusion goes above and beyond respecting and valuing our differences in age, gender, race, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, national origin, disability, family status (e.g., with or without children, marital status), and generations.  We value each individual for the unique talents he or she brings to our workplace. 

We strive for diversity that is reflective of our clients and the diverse cultural mix of the greater Washington, D.C. area in which we live and work.  We hire the best, brightest and most qualified people, in both legal and non-legal capacities, all the while guided by our desire to be as inclusive as possible.  Bringing together the talents of individuals with unique backgrounds, perspectives and experiences allows us to build strong client teams that produce effective and creative work products. 

Our culture is defined by care and respect for one another.  We value our differences as much as our commonalities. 

Internal diversity programs include INSPIRED - by the women of SKGF, a women's affinity group that hosts periodic roundtables and topical discussions.  We participate in and sponsor a number of organizations that promote diversity across our local, legal, and technical communities including:

• National Bar Association
• Women's Bar Association of DC
• Maryland Women in Technology
• Women in Bio
• American Bar Association's Young Lawyers Division
• Whitman-Walker Clinic
• Special Olympics
• Rachael's Women's Center
• Asian Pacific American Bar Association Educational Fund
