Diversity

• Inclusion. LECG can succeed only to the extent that every employee is fully welcomed in the workplace and every employee’s ideas are fully welcomed. Each employee brings a unique perspective to the firm. Each employee brings a unique set of life experiences that define an employee’s ability to make a contribution at LECG. Ultimately, we invite people to join LECG for their unique perspectives. In all roles at the firm, we seek to hire people who will expand the company’s perspective on the world. We are convinced that a diverse workforce is one key to our success and we recognize that we have to work not only to seek diversity but also to create an inclusive workplace that fully and inclusively engages the talents of a diverse staff. We are committed to learning and doing what we need to do to make this happen.
  
  
• Global Representation. Geographic diversity has been a long-time tradition and source of pride for LECG. Headquartered in the United States, we nonetheless were founded by a native of New Zealand who also has lived in Europe. With offices in North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and Latin America. However, our global presence goes beyond the geographic location of our offices. In the recent past, we have hired employees native to six continents. This is typical for LECG, and provides an ongoing impetus for us to be truly inclusive and to expand our understanding of diversity. We literally cannot afford to approach diversity any other way.
  
  
• Practice Areas. The diversity of our practice areas and our success to date is due to having deliberately sought to diversify not just who we are as people at LECG, but also who we are as a business. Each of our practice areas has its own unique origins, ways of providing outstanding client service, and ways of operating. The mergers and acquisitions practice assesses large-scale competitive implications, whereas the electronic discovery practice is developing investigative techniques that are literally redefining how the legal discovery process unfolds. And each practice area links us to a variety of industries. We drive ourselves to be experts at managing this everyday diversity of the business areas in which we operate, striving to move forward as a cohesive whole. This is ongoing and organic. We know that we need a workforce that is as diverse as possible in traditional and non-traditional ways if we are to continue generating the new ideas on which we flourish.
