People are at the center of Foley & Lardner’s core values, and our success depends on our ability to attract, develop, and retain world-class talent. Our Legal Talent & Development team plays an integral role in fostering a culture of inclusion and professional satisfaction where people from diverse backgrounds deliver innovative solutions to our clients.
Legal Talent & Development at Foley encompasses Legal Recruiting, Professional Development, Diversity & Inclusion, and Attorney Coaching initiatives that work together to provide an integrated experience for our people – from meeting for the first interview to engaging them as alums.
As we enter 2022 empowered to be more strategic and data-driven, we’re pleased to share our 2021 Year in Review, which features stories about our:
- Accelerated lateral recruiting efforts, including a large Northern California group and a new Salt Lake City office
- Data-driven Foley Engage system to aid in associate work allocation
- Firmwide diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives backed by a new strategic plan
- Skills-based Leadership Development Program for senior counsel
Through these and other initiatives, Foley recruits world-class talent; supports and develops our attorneys over the arc of their careers; achieves a diverse, equitable, and inclusive work environment; and enhances engagement, professional satisfaction, and well-being.
In the months ahead, we look forward to sharing more ways that the Legal Talent & Development team is working to advance Foley’s firmwide strategic plan – and to being together again.
