Alston & Bird is committed to promoting diversity both within our firm and our community. We have worked and will continue to work to create and maintain an open, receptive and nurturing work environment and a diverse workforce of attorneys and staff. We accomplish this internally through various initiatives under the leadership of firm-wide Diversity Committees.
