The Firm's Board of Directors has six female members, one of whom serves as Co-Chair. The Managing Partner of our Chicago office also is a woman. Our groups and committees help promote a firmwide philosophy of inclusion and action, helping raise scholarship money for minority and economically disadvantaged students, hosting holiday parties for lower income children and supporting longtime Firm programs like Flexible Work Arrangements, Domestic Partner Benefits and the Women's Initiative. Corporate responsibility is an important part of Locke Lord's mission as we reach out to the communities we serve in meaningful partnerships and pro bono work.
Locke Lord's Mission Statement sets the tone: At the end of each year, we want our firm to be better, stronger and more highly regarded than it was at the beginning.
