Diversity, Inclusion, and Belonging

We value diversity of identities, experiences, and backgrounds, which create a more vibrant and dynamic work environment and drive business and service excellence. Blank Rome was formed in 1946 by attorneys who, because of their religion, were barred from joining many of the established law firms. Our founders’ vision for our firm was of a place where people of all backgrounds, without discrimination, could gather to practice law in a work environment of inclusion and belonging. Our commitment to these core values, rooted in the fundamental principles of equal employment opportunity based on merit, without regard to race, religion, national origin, gender, or any other protected characteristics, is steadfast and unwavering. We view diversity through a broad lens, encompassing individuals from all backgrounds who can bring their talents, life experiences, and varying perspectives to the firm, contributing to a diverse viewpoint that allows us to provide the highest levels of service and support to our clients, colleagues, and communities.
