Diversity

ERM is founded on values of equality, diversity, and inclusion – starting with the way our partnership is built, all the way through to our recruitment and retention policies, the clients we represent, and the pro bono work we do. Though we recognise that there is always more to do, we are proud to stand behind these values. Amongst our diversity and inclusion initiatives are:

  • A deep commitment to recruitment from a diverse pool of talent, seeking out diversity of thought, experience, background, and characteristics;
  • Ongoing support for our female members of staff, including through our membership of the inter-firm “Shutafot” initiative, which provides mentorship and training to female associates as they gain seniority;
  • Normalisation of policies to encourage co-parenting, with augmented parental leave for all staff; · Longstanding support for non-profit organisation, LGBTech, providing pro bono advice as well as wider support, in their mission to promote LGBT+ diversity and inclusion in the Israeli workplace; · Provision of pro bono advice and support to the Ruth Vrobel Foundation, which provides patients with chronic illnesses and their families, with emotional and social assistance; and
  • Volunteer work with school-children from different socio-economic backgrounds, teaching them about their options for careers in law.
