We don’t simply call our firm diverse because we have a high percentage of female and minority professionals and staff. As the country’s largest black-owned law firm, our diversity reaches the highest level of firm management. Eleven of our firm’s nineteen partners are minorities and eight are women. The fact that our firm is managed by a diverse team speaks volumes. Overall, 60% of our firm’s attorneys are minorities and 47% are women. 

The leadership of Hamilton, Miller & Birthisel is committed to creating a workplace that values the contribution of all of our employees. We understand that our clients require our attorneys and staff to offer them the innovative thinking that comes from diverse backgrounds, cultures, and viewpoints.

Although recruiting and hiring diverse professionals and staff is important to us, we recognize that is only the beginning. We are committed to mentoring all of our employees to encourage excellence and to foster their development and success. Our diversity initiatives are never finished but continually evolving based on the firm’s growth and our desire to constantly improve our business practices to remove any barrier to the growth and realization of the potential of our employees.
