FENNEMORE’S PEOPLE FIRST MODEL

Fennemore has implemented a People First model for how our firm will prioritize our people, strategically grow, acquire top talent and better serve our clients. It stands on four pillars: A tech-centric distributed workforce; an environment where lawyers are guided by a C-Suite to run their practice groups like Fennemore’s clients run their own businesses; a culture that boosts productivity by celebrating work-life balance; and service that gives each client extraordinary lawyer access and decisive power.

Our people are the most important asset. We know that we all have to be at our best in order to give our best to our colleagues, clients, families and communities. Our leadership is committed to helping to set our team members up for success and promoting healthy lifestyles among our attorneys and allied legal professionals. We communicate with every team member monthly through our Doing MORE platform about diversity and inclusion, professional growth, health and well-being, culture and team building.

DIVERSITY & INCLUSION

Our diversity strategy is not limited to the creation of a Diversity Council. Rather, diversity and inclusion are foundations of our values and of our business plan. Our strong commitment to inclusion at all levels of the firm permeates how we do business, treat our clients and treat one another.

PROFESSIONAL GROWTH

We believe that every employee contributes to the overall success of our firm. To support this belief, we encourage and empower our employees to continually grow and enhance their skills. Through our competency-based curriculum and state-of-the-art learning management system, we are able to provide a variety of learning and development opportunities, and provide team members with the best practice tools and resources they need in order to take their professional career to the next level.

HEALTH & WELL-BEING

Our award-winning wellness program includes onsite flu shots, mammograms, biometric screening, fresh fruit, chair massages, fitness classes, wellness contests and incentives, resiliency and stress management programs and tools.

CULTURE & TEAM BUILDING

Building connections, friendships, trust and overall morale is important to our future success. We prioritize hosting regular get-togethers that support our one team, one culture, one mission mindset. Something that makes our firm a great place to work is the fact that we genuinely like the people we work with and it’s not uncommon to see us hanging out outside the office.

WORK-LIFE BALANCE

Our team members are expected to un-plug and have a life outside of the office. We support work-life balance through policies such as reduced-schedule options, flexible workplace options, an employee assistance program, and generous parental leave policy.
