Diversity and inclusion are foundational principles at our law firm, reflecting our commitment to creating an equitable workplace culture. Notably, our Latvian office stands as the sole law firm member of the Latvian Diversity Charter since 2022, championed by our Diversity Partner, Sandija Novicka. Recognition for our dedication to diversity was further solidified when we received the prestigious "Diversity Award Latvia" in 2024, affirming our pioneering efforts in fostering an inclusive business environment.
Over the years, we've seen an increase in female representation within our partnership, exemplified by the addition of two female partners in the recent years. Moreover, our Partner, Rasa Zasčiurinskaitė, plays a pivotal role in promoting diversity and gender equality within the legal profession, actively participating in initiatives such as W@Competition and mentoring programs.
Our commitment to equality extends beyond mere rhetoric to concrete actions in our human resources management practices. We operate a comprehensive career development program, ensuring transparent criteria for promotions and equal opportunities for all genders. Our talent acquisition efforts prioritize diversity, with traineeship programs boasting a balanced gender representation and equal success rates. Additionally, we uphold equal pay and bonus policies, regularly scrutinizing salary structures to guarantee fairness across all levels of the firm.
