Orrick

Employees say:

"We are a team working as hard as we can to deliver results to our clients, but we also are a family; we look out for each other, and we recognize each other's individuality and their unique circumstances and customize to make it easier for those folks to do their best, rather than insisting on a one-size-fits-all framework that doesn't work for anyone."

Orrick’s hiring strategy reflects its DEI priorities: The law firm considers candidate pools that are at least 30% diverse, and provides annual training for its interviewers to reduce bias. That has resulted in almost half of lateral partner hires—and 73% of associate hires—maintaining staff diversity over the past six years. Additionally, 86% of summer associates came from diverse backgrounds in 2023. 

Over 99% of Orrick lawyers provided pro bono legal advice in 2022, reaching a total of more than 121,000 hours of unpaid counsel—the equivalent of hosting a 60-lawyer social impact law firm inside the organization.
