Mission Statement
Our Initiatives
Mayer Brown aims to create a work environment in which professional development and success are determined only by an individual’s ability and commitment; where we respect, celebrate and embrace our differences; and in which shared values of excellence and teamwork unite us—enabling us to better serve our clients.
We want to provide a platform for the success and growth of all lawyers and business services professionals. That advancement could manifest in a senior global leadership position or leadership in local practices and departments or on client or industry teams or in accomplishments as superb practitioners and professionals.
Uniting Through Our Differences
Mayer Brown remains dedicated to promoting a supportive and inclusive workspace where our differences are valued and celebrated. These principles are not merely aspirational; they are essential to who we are, how we serve our clients, and the legacy that we build at Mayer Brown. We believe that our differences - in how we think, what we believe, and where we came from - strengthen us and enhance our ability to provide outstanding legal services to our clients. Our mission is clear and uncompromising: to create and maintain a workforce comprised of the very best talent, and where each and every individual has the opportunity to succeed and reach their full potential.
We take pride in our efforts to celebrate our unique backgrounds and life experiences, including through the tremendous success of our many Employee Resource Groups (“ERGs”). Whether you identify as a member of a particular ERG, or whether you choose to join a group as an ally, Mayer Brown encourages and enables everyone to participate by joining an ERG or by attending any number of the incredibly valuable programs hosted by the ERGs. Only when we learn about and celebrate our different backgrounds can we unite in excellence.
