VENABLE, INC.
TARPON SPRINGS, FLORIDA

Venable’s commitment to diversity and inclusion is, without question, one of the firm’s greatest strengths. Our mission is to deliver the highest quality legal services in the most efficient manner, and we pride ourselves in identifying, recruiting and retaining the best, brightest and most capable attorneys and legal staff from all walks of life. We understand fully that only relevant actions lead to success, and that developing a work environment that values the worth and potential of each and every person within it is one of the most relevant actions in which we can engage as a law firm. Our belief that all voices are important and add significant value can be seen both within and outside the firm. Women and minorities have a significant presence in the firm’s senior leadership and throughout the firm’s management structure. Attorneys with diverse backgrounds play key roles on the firm's various committees, and assist in creating the policies and procedures that make us successful. They provide leadership to several key committees including the Management Committee, Strategic Planning Committee, and Finance Committee. Venable attorneys also offer dedicated, client-focused legal representation, and make substantial contributions to the communities in which they live and work. Indeed, that is the Venable way! The members of our Diversity Committee are driven to ensure that no employee at Venable feels that his or her background presents a barrier to success. We believe that Justice Thurgood Marshall was correct when he said, “in recognizing the humanity of our fellow beings, we pay ourselves the highest tribute.” We know that we pay our firm and our clients the highest tribute by doing all that we can to strengthen our greatest resources, and improve the quality of the Venable experience.
