Our Many Faces

Our firm was founded on principles of openness, diversity, individuality and collegiality, and has long appreciated the value of an eclectic group of lawyers. Consistent with that vision, we count among our partnership, men and women of different ethnicities, cultural backgrounds, sexual preferences, religious beliefs, as well as those with physical disabilities. The firm understands that religious, cultural and lifestyle issues intersect with the workplace, and we strive to accommodate our lawyers’ needs and desires. At Cleary Gottlieb, inclusiveness is not a buzzword, it’s a very real part of our firm’s identity.

We are one, unified global partnership, but we are comprised of very different people who have traveled unique life and career paths.

If you would like to speak to a partner of specific ethnicity, cultural heritage, religion, educational background or sexual orientation, please contact Norma Cirincione at (212) 225-2000.
