Diversity: Keker & Van Nest LLP

As a firm, we pay more than lip service to diversity goals. Our firm was an original signatory to the No Glass Ceiling Initiative of the Bar Association of San Francisco in May 2002. As of January 1, 2005, nearly a third of our partners are women, including two on a part-time basis. We are also a signatory to the Bar Association of San Francisco¿s Goals and Timetables for Minority Hiring and Advancement, and we have met these targets for December 31, 2005.

Being an effective trial lawyer is ultimately about communicating with a broad audience: judges, juries, witnesses and clients. We recognize that our strength, in part, comes from the varied perspectives of our diverse group of attorneys. We actively seek attorneys who will contribute to this diversity so that our firm can continue to reflect the community as a whole.

In word and deed, Keker & Van Nest is committed to providing equal opportunity in any and all employment without regard to race, creed, religion, color, national origin, ancestry, sex, age, marital status, medical condition, disability, or sexual orientation.
