DIVERSITY WORKS… DIVERSITY ADDS VALUE… Diversity CREATES better work environments, better ideas, better solutions, and better outcomes for MBM clients.
Diversity drives MBM and reverberates through the process of recruiting, retaining, developing, and promoting staff. As a firm, we rely on a balanced combination of scientific, legal, and business acumen to provide creative IP protection for our clients. As people, we rely on the team environment to bring out the best in each person. That’s why we strive to foster a creative, respectful, and inclusive culture where staff feel accepted, respected, and supported, regardless of gender, gender identity, race, religion, disability or sexual orientation. All our staff have an equal opportunity to grow their skills and progress in their careers. Only through diversity is our team enriched with the benefits of different backgrounds, experiences, viewpoints, beliefs, and perspectives.
MBM’s unwavering commitment to cultivating a diverse, equal, inclusive, accessible, and accepting workplace is more than just talk. Working in concert with our staff, community, and government, we actively seek to eliminate barriers that affect those who have been historically marginalized. And we do this by breaking the mould of a traditional law firm and embedding these fundamentals into the fabric of the firm and its culture so all our staff can bring their “full selves” to work every day.
MBM doesn’t believe in ludicrous billable targets or lockstep career paths. We believe in a balanced approach of working hard and enjoying life, having your co-workers as your friends, and discovering your career path through trial and error and flexibility. MBM knows that staff who are happy and comfortable with their work environment and can fully be themselves reduce turnover and create more collaborative, efficient, and productive teams.
Check out some of our numbers:
- 73% women
- 37% of our staff are Millennials/Gen Z
- 20 languages spoken
Finally, MBM utilizes a scientific, performance-based recruitment process headed by a diverse selection committee to combat bias and ensure we hire the top talent. Creativity and innovation always start from seeing the world through varied lenses and from multiple perspectives … and that’s how unique solutions to problems are born. After all, the best IP strategy and protection comes from the brightest, most creative, and most diverse minds!
