Inclusivity and Excellence
Providing the best legal service to our clients requires the strongest team. A rich diversity of talent fosters innovation and a wider variety of creative solutions for clients. In short, we are stronger together.
That’s why we are deeply committed to recruiting, hiring and providing opportunities to a workforce that welcomes people of all backgrounds, genders, gender identities, sex, races, colors, national origins, ages, ethnicities, creeds, religions and sexual orientations, as well as veterans and persons with disabilities. The same principle extends to our vendors – they serve us best when they represent a diverse supplier network that reflects our community and our clients.
Reinhart is committed to providing all of our employees with equal opportunity for professional growth and fulfillment. In support of this commitment, we achieved Mansfield Rule certification to confirm that our recruiting and advancement practices produce candidates with diverse skillsets, experiences and perspectives.
We are equally committed to employment benefits and policies that support our employees irrespective of their gender, gender identity, or sexual orientation. As a result, Reinhart has consistently earned top scores on the Human Rights Campaign Foundation’s Corporate Equality Index.
Internal Affinity Groups foster collaboration and provide support for interested employees. They provide space for participants and allies to support one another, share challenges and opportunities, and contribute to building a more inclusive workplace for all.
We know that our clients benefit from solutions that reflect the integration of diverse experiences and perspectives, and we believe that our workplace is richer when it more closely reflects the makeup of our communities. Reinhart is investing in the community by actively engaging with law students and supporting them in making informed decisions about their future careers.
Bridges Advisory Program
Reinhart aims to bridge the gap between law school and the practice of law while students are still in school. We pair each participating student with a Reinhart attorney, and they meet informally throughout the year to assist students in understanding what it is like to be a practicing attorney in the law firm setting.
Associates
Reinhart associates begin a coaching relationship with a mentor during the Associate Training Program (ATP). After completing ATP, the pairs continue to meet as part of the Accelerate Program to set goals, identify strategies, examine challenges and celebrate wins. Accelerate helps address associates’ individual practice development needs, particularly those in their second through fourth years of practice.
