Firm Statement on Inclusion & Belonging

 

As plaintiffs’ attorneys, we fight for access to justice every day; that means access to justice for everyone.  We ask defendants and jurors to value human life every day; that means every human life.

As a firm, Simmons Hanly Conroy holds inclusion and belonging as core values and utilizes resources and influence to make a positive impact in our communities.

Simmons Hanly Conroy has made the following commitments to our community:

  • Simmons Hanly Conroy donated $10,000 to ArchCity Defenders, a holistic legal advocacy organization that combats the criminalization of poverty and state violence, especially in communities of color. We will continue to make consistent contributions to this and similar organizations as they nobly commit their careers to addressing social injustices.
  • Employees are granted a paid day per year to volunteer at a social justice event being held during business hours.
  • Simmons Hanly Conroy closes our offices on June 19th to recognize Juneteenth as a paid firm holiday as we stand in solidarity with our colleagues and community to commemorate this day of freedom and justice for those who were formerly and unjustly enslaved.

Simmons Hanly Conroy stands for our clients as well as social justice and equality. Please know that we hold ourselves accountable to taking meaningful steps to ameliorate barriers to equal opportunity together as an organization and in partnership with our community.
