Fostering an inclusive community, celebrating differences, valuing individuals and respecting colleagues creates a workplace environment where everyone feels seen, heard and valued. Our affinity groups and inclusion networks, heritage month celebrations, informal networking events and cultural programs are some of the ways we build an inclusive community at Simpson Thacher.
Affinity Groups and Inclusion Networks: our affinity groups are supportive communities where lawyers of all levels of seniority, and with common affinities and/or interests, collaborate to foster greater inclusion at the Firm, with particular focus on associate engagement. The Firm maintains seven affinity groups which are open to lawyers from any practice area, office and affinity who wish to participate.
- Asian Affinity Group
- Black Lawyers Network
- Colegas (Latinx)
- Parents Affinity Group
- South Asian Affinity Group
- STB Proud (LGBTQ)
- Middle Eastern / North African Network
Inclusion Networks: similar to affinity groups, our inclusion networks are supportive communities comprised of lawyers across all levels of seniority and all affinities in our U.S. offices outside of New York. Inclusion networks meet and host programs to foster greater inclusion and connectivity at the Firm with particular focus on associate and counsel engagement. The Firm supports five inclusion networks which are open to all lawyers who wish to participate.
