These networks build relationships and also help educate the firm about different groups.&#160;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt;We host global events and communication series that encourage inclusivity, and our international offices often collaborate on events like Pride, for example.&#160;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt;We provide training, education, and resources, including programs for women at different career stages and for people from different racial/ethnic minorities, to explore and address career challenges.&#160;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;PRO BONO:&#160;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt;Summer associates and junior associates play a critical role in the firm’s commitment to pro bono work and serving the communities in which we work. All summer associates take on significant responsibility from day one in pro bono matters that match their areas of interests, be it transactional work, or litigation. Not only does pro bono work better our global communities, but it also allows summer associates to gain important training experience and hone their legal skills from the outset of their careers.&#160;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt;Throughout their careers, we encourage our lawyers to use their skills to make a positive impact in the lives of people around the world through pro bono work.&#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt;Our pro bono practice is global and multijurisdictional. This work supports our responsibility to help build a fair and equitable society, as well as our commitment to our people, culture, clients, and the wider legal sector.&#160;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt;Learn more about pro bono initiatives at our firm.&#160;Visit our pro bono page to learn more about our pro bono work and its impact.&#160;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.aoshearman.com/en/about-us/social-impact/pro-bono&quot; data-saferedirecturl=&quot;https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.aoshearman.com/en/about-us/social-impact/pro-bono&amp;amp;source=gmail&amp;amp;ust=1731100518077000&amp;amp;usg=aovvaw3cvjyzy9z73octpmfaduzq&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;https://www.aoshearman.com/en/about-us/social-impact/pro-bono&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
