CMS

In today's competitive business environment, our clients expect and demand legal services providers who reflect the diversity of the communities in which we practice. Our commitment to diversity serves to advance each of the strategic goals established for the firm.

Diversity initiatives are policies and practices designed to improve the workplace experiences and outcomes of target group members.

At CMS Albania, we understand diversity as a culture of variety and mutual respect. We do not take people of different nationalities, genders, ethnic and religious origins, sexual orientations and people with diverse life experiences for granted. For us, the diversity is both a commitment and an advantage. As an international commercial law firm, we rely on mobility and other essentials values. Colleagues from different countries with individual expertise and different life experiences contribute to our success. Diversity thus becomes an asset.

CMS Albania offer equal opportunities for everyone and accept diversity. Our office takes sustainability seriously by playing an important part through professional diversity management. Sustainable procurement focuses first and foremost on fair and safe working conditions at supplier companies. When you join CMS, you’ll be an integral part of the team. Your views will be respected; your ideas will be heard.

As a global, future-facing law firm, we are committed to fostering a supportive and inclusive culture that encourages authenticity and celebrates all our people and their unique backgrounds.

Having senior colleagues share their experience and be role models is imperative for progressing the Diversity agenda, but we equally think that everybody has a story to tell, can be a role model and influence the firm’s culture in a positive way.

We want to create a culture that supports everybody, and we are conscious that depending on their profile, some demographics experience different challenges. For this reason, in addition to the wider work on creating an inclusive and supportive culture, we focus our efforts on specific diversity strands.

To promote diversity, our office also takes proactive steps that impact all levels within the office: from young professionals to senior management. In addition, we also organized a diversity course, which helped us to understand how we can play our part in building an inclusive culture and the impact discrimination and inequality can have within the workplace.

Engaging and supporting a diverse and inclusive workforce that reflects the diversity of our clients and their sectors is the basis for a sustainable and successful business.

We are proud of the progress we have already made but diversity is always going to be a journey and there will always be scope to get better.
