As a leading law firm to the financial services, structured finance and banking industries, Thacher Proffitt seeks to attract and retain a diverse group of attorneys who share a commitment to legal excellence and a desire to practice within an environment of strong collegiality and work / life balance. Where some may see a typical Wall Street law firm, upon closer inspection our lawyers find the opportunities and considerations seldom afforded to minorities and women in today's legal profession.

Thacher Proffitt is a Corporate Law Partner for the Sponsorship for Educational Opportunities (SEO) program, a signatory of the NYC Bar Association Statement of Goals for Increasing Minority Representation and Retention (effective 11.05.2003) and also participates in NYC Minority Roundtables. We also have a policy of non-discrimination, which includes non-discrimination in employment based on race, religion, sex, age, marital status, national origin, citizenship, sexual orientation, disability or status as a disabled or Vietnam Era veteran.

Thacher Proffitt is, by design, a great place to work. By engaging minorities and women at every level of career development, we provide an environment that nurtures, rewards and promotes success regardless of color and gender. Today we can proudly boast the number of senior-level minority and women attorneys who are largely home-grown, and can demonstrate the sustainability of our approach to diversity.
