Cultivating a Diverse and Inclusive Workplace
At Maddin Hauser, the appreciation, celebration, and encouragement of diverse perspectives are among our foundational values, and we work every day to honor and manifest these values. Our clients benefit from professionals who bring different experiences, ideas, and approaches to solving complex legal and business challenges. It is codified as one of the core principles in the Maddin Hauser Way, a list that guides us in everything we do and includes the mandate to:
Purposefully seek opportunities to learn from others. Be genuinely interested in learning about others’ unique strengths, thoughts, suggestions, and life experiences. We recognize the value of empathetically inviting, including, and understanding diverse perspectives. Take deliberate, informed actions to create a culture of belonging where everyone can thrive.
Maddin Hauser’s SEE Committee
We take “deliberate, informed actions” both at the individual and collective levels, which is heard in one-on-one conversations fueled by a spirit of genuine curiosity and openness. We actively seek out new attorneys from a broad spectrum of backgrounds, with the only requirement being a genuine passion and talent for the law and a commitment to delivering an exceptional client experience. More formally, it is the guiding framework of Maddin Hauser’s Success Through Empowerment and Engagement (SEE) Committee.
The mission of the SEE Committee is to spearhead our efforts to foster an environment and culture where attorneys from diverse backgrounds can succeed, achieve, and lead within the firm and in the legal community. Comprised of attorneys from across all practice areas, they meet frequently to develop programming focused on mentorship and support systems, the recruitment and retention of top talent, and providing a welcoming workplace where attorneys and staff feel valued for their unique strengths, contributions, personal characteristics, and life experiences.
