Mission Statement

At SmithAmundsen, our diversity initiative centers upon creating and nurturing a diverse, collaborative, and inclusive working environment. We believe that multiple perspectives, derived from wide-ranging cultural and life experiences, are the catalyst for inspired thought from which our firm, clients, and community benefit. The leadership of SmithAmundsen is dedicated to recruiting, mentoring, training, and advancing exceptional attorneys who will succeed professionally and will commit to the collaborative culture of SmithAmundsen. Our Diversity Task Force works with the firm’s leadership to implement strategies to expand, enhance, and maintain diversity within our firm. The firm actively sponsors and develops activities with minority organizations throughout Chicago’s community and in Chicago’s law schools to ensure our firm’s participation in promoting diversity both within our firm and within the legal community.
