Diversity, Equity & Inclusion

We undertake our DEI work with an awareness that we are limited by our own privileged perspectives.

For that reason, we regularly seek insights from diverse voices outside of our firm. Our close relationship with the Lawyers Collaborative for Diversity (LCD) is particularly meaningful in informing our DEI efforts. One of our partners currently serves on LCD’s board of directors, and another served as LCD president.

Our DEI efforts inform every area of the firm’s operations. We maintain a large and inclusive DEI Committee. It meets regularly to advance DEI initiatives across firm functions, from recruiting to business development to strategic planning.  

FDH’s commitment and heightened attention to DEI has yielded measurable progress. As a participant in the legal, private equity, and hedge fund industries—all of which have struggled to support historically underrepresented populations—we are buoyed, in particular, by the ongoing diversification of our partnership.  

We take pride in our progress without being satisfied with it. Instead, we approach our DEI initiative as an effort that requires us continuously to educate ourselves, track our progress to ensure accountability, and take bold actions to keep moving us forward.
