McIntosh, Sawran, Peltz & Cartaya, P.A. has been committed to diversity in
its recruitment, hiring and retention efforts since its inception in 1989.
Throughout its history, the firm has embraced, as a matter of policy, equal
employment opportunity without discrimination the basis of race, color,
national origin, religion, age, sex, disability, sexual orientation or any
other characteristic protected by the law. As a practical matter, the firm
views diversity as providing access to the best human resources available in
all possible categories. In addition, a diverse employee population is
congruent with the desires and objectives of the firm’s clientele. Achieving
a higher level of excellence and developing a deeper sense of
professionalism occur only with an abiding commitment to the goals of
diversity and inclusiveness.
The firm believes that its upper management should lead by example in this
regard. We are pleased to report that such is the case, as females have
assumed leadership roles throughout the firm. More than 50% of the firm’s
Partners are women, and one of its four owners is a Hispanic-American
female. Of the firm’s Directors, 2/3 are women who are also
Hispanic-American. Almost half of all Attorneys are women with approximately
one-fifth of all attorneys being Hispanic-American or
African-American.
However, McIntosh, Sawran also believes diversity should permeate all levels
within the firm. As to the overall employee population, over 70%
are women. In addition, approximately 40% of the firm’s personnel fall into other
minority categories, most notably, Hispanic and African-American. We firmly
believe that diversity in all aspects is essential to accomplishing our
goals.
The firm makes a concerted effort to develop and retain all its personnel,
including those comprised of women and other minorities. This is consistent
with the firm’s mission to attract and employ the best human resources
possible, and to provide them with technological, and other, tools in order
to deliver responsive, efficient, and cost-effective service of the highest
order to its clients.
McIntosh, Sawran is committed to maintaining a culture that provides and
supports diversity, not only throughout our firm, but also, within our
profession. |
