Commitment to Diversity
Our firm is a child of the 21st century and is in tune with social reality.
We believe that the individual is the smallest and most important minority of all and that all others derive from him. Our idea is to provide an environment of personal and professional development focused on the individual, from the students’ internship to their possible employment as a lawyer and future promotions in their careers.
With this in mind, we declare that the particularities of individuals can never be an obstacle to the development and trajectory in our office, whether as an employee, an intern, an associate lawyer, or a partner. Therefore, we will always respect ethnicity, gender, social origin, political ideology, religion, or sexual orientation, guaranteeing their free expression.
We value the collective diversity that derives from these expressions of individual freedom. We understand that an environment of free exchange of ideas, freedom of thought, and democratic contribution of different points of view is a fundamental component that fosters our objective and mission as legal professionals.
We understand that a work environment with diversity and inclusion must respect the countless particularities that make each person unique and different from all others. Therefore, ever since the firm was founded, we have always sought to provide an environment of respect and appreciation for the individual and guarantee free expression. Accordingly, dedication, work, and individual merit are always valued, observed, and considered regardless of physical characteristics, gender, ideological, religious, or sexual orientation preferences, none of which may serve as a barrier to professionals’ personal development or growth. Respecting each person’s differences also means taking advantage of the countless peculiarities that make up each person, providing different points of view and different approaches to each issue, making it possible to create solutions creatively and exponentially.
We will consistently prospect for talents and build teams free of ideological biases and prejudice related to gender, ethnicity, political ideology, religious belief, or sexual orientation. We believe that if these biases and prejudices were to interfere in the selection of our professionals, not only would the freedom and respect for the individual be violated, but also the firm could be deprived of attracting and retaining talent. The selection of future interns or lawyers will be based on academic background, professional experience, and personal interests in specific areas of law that meet our requirements and needs at the time. The work teams will be formed based on these same specificities to align our professionals’ interests with the firm’s and clients’ needs.
