Diversity
Hawkins Parnell Thackston & Young LLP values diversity and strives to create a supportive environment that enables all of our personnel to achieve and deliver excellence in their professional careers. We actively embrace different backgrounds, viewpoints and perspectives as we endeavor to promote diversity in our workplace and our community.
HPTY recruits, hires, promotes and compensates all staff and attorneys without regard to race, gender, age, ethnicity, national origin, disability, veteran status or other characteristic protected by law. We know that the collection of our varied personal perspectives and life experiences makes our firm better able to identify with and serve the needs of our diverse clients. According to the most recent National Association of Legal Professionals (NALP) Legal Employers survey, HPTY meets or exceeds the national diversity averages for law firms of our size.
HPTY actively participates in community programs to provide social, legal and economic opportunities to the underprivileged and disadvantaged. Many of our attorneys hold leadership positions in the state and local bar associations and other not-for-profit organizations that are dedicated to legal education and mentoring opportunities in a diverse community.
