Diversity, Equity, Inclusion & Belonging

Everett Dorey is committed to Diversity, Equity, Inclusion & Belonging. It is part of the foundation upon which the firm was built and a catalyst in creating the firm. Everett Dorey understands that diversity and inclusion benefits the employees of the firm, the legal community, the community at large and our clients.  

Through the Everett Dorey Diversity Committee, Everett Dorey has created a structural mechanism to implement the firm's founding mission of supporting a diverse and inclusive work environment and addressing the many  issues facing attorneys of diverse backgrounds. The Diversity Committee initiatives include, but are not limited to: hire, retain and support diverse employees; nurture inclusion to ensure all employees work in a safe and supportive environment; ensure anti-discriminatory practices and foster equal opportunity through the  removal of systemic barriers; and promote philanthropy and community service/support through  partnerships and sponsorships. 

To promote diversity around the workplace, Everett Dorey has implemented a Supplier Diversity Program to  promote and encourages the use of supplier businesses that are historically underutilized, including businesses  that are minority owned, women owned, veteran owned and LGBTQ owned.
