REED SMITH DIVERSITY PROGRAMS [*DEADLINES VARY: SEE BELOW]

Reed Smith is a dynamic international law firm, dedicated to helping clients move their businesses forward. With offices spanning the United States, Europe, Asia and the Middle East, we are an entity as diverse as the continents across which we practice and the clients that we serve. We recognize, however, that diverse structure alone does not define true diversity. Instead, at Reed Smith, we strive to realize the true value of our constituents – attorneys, staff, and clients – by fully integrating their unique talents and perspectives into every aspect of our business.

To sustain and grow the strength of our team, Reed Smith is committed to supporting a variety of pipeline diversity initiatives to students entering the legal profession even before they start law school, and that continues through graduation and beyond. We support diverse law students by providing the tools and opportunities to succeed in law school and in the legal profession through our participation in diversity initiatives such as those highlighted below.
