Williams & Connolly recognizes diversity and inclusion as core values; exceptional advocates are not cut from a single, or predictable, cloth. We believe that Diversity (the varied backgrounds, experiences, interests, and perspectives we each bring) enriches our collective thinking and drives us to develop creative and effective solutions to our clients’ most complex legal challenges.
Our firm’s culture of Inclusion (the intentional effort to ensure every person feels welcome, supported, and able to bring their authentic self to work) empowers our attorneys and professionals to thrive, collaborate, and contribute their best. Williams & Connolly actively recruits individuals from all backgrounds and provides all with equal opportunities and resources needed to grow and succeed.

Williams & Connolly is committed to ensuring that access to justice is not a privilege reserved to those who can afford it. Each year, W&C attorneys devote tens of thousands of hours of legal services to clients navigating the complexities of the legal system. Most of the firm’s pro bono matters are direct representations of individuals in adversarial proceedings, whether criminal, civil, or administrative. The firm also partners with non-profit organizations challenging government action and advancing the rights of low-income communities. In 2025, the firm also accepted court appointments at every level of the federal judiciary.
