| We are dedicated to promoting a culture where diversity is respected and welcomed. As we see it, the definition of diversity is more expansive than race, gender, religion, and sexual orientation. It includes other differences -- regional, cultural, generational, and more.
Harris Beach is committed to being a diverse organization. We have a well-established diversity committee which includes senior members of the firm and the CEO. We have engaged Roosevelt Thomas, a leading national diversity consulting firm to help us with our initiatives.
Above all, we realize that people are our most valuable resource. As we forge new paths in our 150th year and beyond, we recognize that our diversity is a significant source of strength for our firm. We continue to create a culture that inspires the best in each of us.
Scholarship Opportunities
Strengthening our commitment to embracing diversity, we have launched The Harris Beach PLLC Diversity Scholarship Program for second year law school students and Rochester-based college seniors who will be attending law school. We are seeking candidates who will make a meaningful contribution to the diversity of our firm and the legal community, and who can demonstrate a strong desire to work, live, and practice law in New York state.
