Hand Arendall Harrison Sale is committed to diversity and inclusion in our firm, in the legal profession, in the communities we serve and in our society as a whole. Our firm culture is rooted in trust, collegiality, work-life balance, creativity and innovation, and a respect and appreciation for our varied skills, backgrounds, experiences and perspectives. With these values in mind, we staff our client matters with a diverse team of lawyers to best serve our clients’ needs, and we seek to recruit, retain and advance legal talent from diverse backgrounds, whether such diversity is on the basis of race, gender, national origin, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, age, disability, marital status, veteran status, socioeconomic status, or other characteristic or classification.
A Top-Down Commitment to Diversity and Inclusion in Everything We Do
Our firm’s leadership is diverse in age and gender, and our Mobile, Alabama office is a market leader in the region for its number of female lawyers. We ensure that our summer law clerks and young lawyers receive ample mentoring, coaching opportunities and work assignments to maximize their potential and promote their advancement within the firm. Many of our lawyers are members of affinity organizations and participate in diversity and inclusion initiatives through our state and local bar associations.
We further demonstrate our commitment to diversity and inclusion by supporting initiatives and organizations that support causes aligned with a more diverse and equitable society. Those include organizations that promote education, mentoring, child advocacy, racial justice, legal assistance, healthcare, caring for people with disabilities, combating poverty and preserving our natural environment. At Hand Arendall Harrison Sale, we are more than lawyers, we are members of our communities, and we are stewards for the environment in which we all live.
