We offer several training programs to legal professionals and supervisors, including workshops related to unconscious bias, cross-cultural competence and inclusive leadership, allyship and mentoring in a diverse workplace. Blakes also offers training for our legal professionals on interviewing candidates without bias or discrimination. Our thorough orientation for new hires includes discussions about culture, professionalism and commitment to teamwork, along with diversity and inclusion, pro bono and community initiatives. We have hired an outside consultant to look at our recruitment results and interview candidates who had in-firm interviews ― whether or not they decide to join us ― to ensure that our process is inclusive.
