Our Philosophy
At Mayer Brown, we are committed to creating a work environment that offers every member of our team the opportunity and support to succeed. We recruit the highest-caliber people, who bring their unique and varied talents, experiences and insights, enriching our workplace and our ability to exceed expectations. We share with our clients the belief that a Firm which brings together a wide variety of perspectives – and which fosters a community that encourages conversations around and builds upon those perspectives – is essential to providing innovative and robust legal solutions. Our Opportunity & Development initiative is dedicated to ensuring that each and every one of our lawyers and legal talent, at all levels, is equipped with the tools, connections, and skills to thrive at Mayer Brown (and beyond).
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.

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.
