Frankfurt Kurnit is a diverse and inclusive law firm both in composition and practice. We are signatories to the New York City Bar’s Statement of Diversity Principles and believe that employing people with varied experiences, backgrounds and viewpoints leads to a firm with different and innovative ideas, knowledge, and approaches, and creates an internal culture that encourages positive relationships and communication. This also allows the firm to appreciate and service clients with varied perspectives and backgrounds.
In 2023, we were proud to have been honored by Lawyers of Color (LoC) with their Aspire Diversity Award. Partners Lisa E. Davis and Terri Seligman were also recognized by The New York Law Journal as 2022 Diversity Initiative honorees.
We regularly host events for our clients, attorneys, and staff, leveraging Frankfurt Kurnit’s deep ties to the media, entertainment, and academic circles. We have hosted roundtable discussions, lectures, and working sessions led by prominent authors and experts on important and cutting-edge issues.
