Our Commitment to You
We want very much to be a far more diverse and inclusive legal community, where all people can easily see themselves fitting in and thriving. And we’re serious about getting there. This work is fundamental to our mission and we are passionately committed to it. And if you should choose to join us and build your career here, the Coalition and its members promise to be passionately committed to you.
Advancing Pittsburgh’s legal community
We know that strength lies in welcoming differences of all sorts to our firms, our law departments, and to our city. We also know that a more diverse and inclusive legal community isn’t going to happen just by wishing it so.
That’s why we’ve come together and committed to taking the concrete steps necessary to build the legal community we want to have. It’s also why all of us at the Coalition are committed to accelerating progress, generating equitable outcomes, and ensuring our culture is supportive for everyone. Our strategy doesn’t promise all the answers, but we believe it will help us find them, and that open dialogue sparks change.
Working in Pittsburgh
Coalition members are some of Pittsburgh’s premier legal employers — both locally-based law firms and Pittsburgh offices of national and international law firms; as well as law departments of corporations of all sizes, right up to and including the Fortune 100. We do great work for great clients — individuals, businesses, both public and private, governmental entities and non-profits of all sorts. We proudly represent the kind of clients you might think of when you think of Pittsburgh. Heavy industry and manufacturing companies. Energy companies. The Steelers! The Pirates! The Penguins! But we also represent players in the worlds of high tech, artificial intelligence, healthcare, and engineering, arts and design. Powered by our world-class institutions of higher education and over $3 billion spent annually on research and development in the region, some of the country’s most exciting start-ups begin right here and our lawyers work to help them on their way.
