I, Heath Eskalyo, pledge to the following:
Personal Commitment • I will use my voice as a leader in my organization and in the profession to advocate for diversity and inclusion in the legal profession and in my community.
Heath S. Eskalyo Principal Partner / Chief Performance Officer
• I will use my position among my firm’s leadership to advocate for changes to improve the equity of processes such as work assignments, hiring, and compensation. • I will reinforce a culture within my organization that encourages employees to come to and leave work each day feeling that they have been authentically and visibly who they are, and by ensuring that employees feel valued, heard, and empowered as professionals.
Organizational Commitment • I will require human resources department and the firm’s diversity and inclusion committee to prepare and present to firm leadership an annual diversity and inclusion action plan and related metrics. • I will create a directory of lawyers who identify as diverse, and I will work with my firm to create an internal process to evaluate all client teams for diversity. • I will ensure that 30% of the lawyers in my firm are diverse, and are hired based on merit.
