Committed to Fairness and Equality for Our Clients, and for Ourselves
More than 43 years ago, the founding partners of Labaton Sucharow created a Firm in which they could use their knowledge and experience of the law to promote fairness in business enterprise. Indeed, over the last four decades, the Firm has earned global recognition for its extraordinary success in securing historic recoveries and just treatment for investors and consumers wronged by misconduct and bad faith dealings.
Our longstanding commitment to fairness and equality does not begin with our client engagements; it begins with our people.
At Labaton Sucharow, we actively seek to hire and promote minority and women attorneys, professionals and staff—and to provide a work environment in which all members of our team will thrive. As a team, we are richer for those qualities that render us unique and we believe in doing more than protecting individual differences—we celebrate them.
To promote diversity in the legal profession, and to encourage minority students to join Labaton Sucharow, the Firm has created a scholarship and internship program, which awards a $5000 grant and a summer associate position to a first-year minority student who has demonstrated academic excellence during the first semester. The award is available to students at a law school in the metropolitan New York area. Scholarship winners are selected after the Firm interviews three candidates nominated by the Dean of the law school each candidate attends.
Our pro bono activities also reflect our commitment to equal opportunity. The Firm is a long-time supporter of the Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under the Law, which was formed at the request of President John F. Kennedy to secure equal justice through the rule of law.
Working on behalf of the Committee, Firm lawyers have helped analyze United States Supreme Court nominees for their stands on issues such as racial and ethnic equality, corporate diversity, and gender discrimination. In addition, our attorneys assisted in a nationwide voter rights initiative in the 2004 presidential election, to ensure that minorities received fair opportunities to vote.
