Diversity
Diversity
It is part of the Raue spirit to recognize and respect the uniqueness of every employee and every client, regardless of origin, skin color, age, gender, sexual orientation or identity. In our management committees, we strive for a variety of perspectives because we are convinced that this can enhance the quality of management decisions.
We attach importance to increasing the proportion of women in management positions and support them on their way, e.g. with special career training for women. Women make up 39 percent of our associates, 38 percent of our counsel and 29 percent of partners (including associate partners). There are 25 percent female partners on the management board of Raue.
Corporate Social Responsibility/Pro Bono
Raue encourages its partners and associates to use their skills for the common good and to help individuals in particular need of assistance, also without remuneration. Our professional attitude as attorneys is underpinned by our willingness to give back to our communities, and we foster the pro bono activities our attorneys pursue. This means that wherever we serve a client pro bono, our work will meet the same high standards that apply to any other services we provide. We are willing to lend support to those in need who would otherwise not be able to afford adequate legal advice, and whose cause convinces us that our work will contribute to the good of the community. Our firm is a founding member of Pro Bono Deutschland e.V., the first German association of leading corporate law firms promoting pro-bono legal advice and encouraging attorneys to volunteer their services.
Another component of our CSR commitment is the Peter Raue Preis. With the Peter Raue Preis, the corporate law firm Raue supports individuals or institutions who set an outstanding example of social, civic or cultural commitment. The award, which is endowed with 10,000 euros, was awarded for the first time in 2021. With the Peter Raue Preis, the law firm picks up on the values the vigor and the enthusiasm of its namesake partner Prof. Dr. Peter Raue. The lawyers of the law firm Raue feel committed to his example. The choice of name for this award pays tribute to his outstanding involvement as a citizen of the city of Berlin, as a lawyer and as a promoter of the arts and the common welfare.
