Our Commitment to Diversity
Keller Rohrback is committed to creating, nurturing, and preserving a culture rooted in recognizing and celebrating our differences. We endeavor to attract, develop, and retain outstanding staff and attorneys from communities that have been historically, and that remain, underrepresented at all levels of the legal profession. And we strive to support those outstanding team members once they’re here. This commitment makes us a stronger law firm and a better employer.

Diversity Fellowship

The program is designed to immerse Fellows in training experiences and challenging legal work as well as promote the formation of lasting connections with our attorneys and staff. Fellows have the opportunity to work with a variety of lawyers and staff at the firm, including in the firm’s Complex Litigation Department, which focuses on large-scale, plaintiffs’-side public impact litigation.
Ongoing Diversity Education and Programs
In addition to the Firm’s Diversity Fellowships, Keller Rohrback facilitates ongoing education for all attorneys and staff. In addition to annual firm-wide training, the firm has engaged various speakers on Diversity and Inclusion, including Caprice Hollins (Cultures Connecting), Judy Hissong (Nesso Strategies), and Dr. Isaiah Pickens (iOpening Enterprises). The Diversity Committee is responsible for promoting and sharing educational materials year-round.
In 2025, Keller Rohrback initiated a Heritage Month Giving Initiative, a dedicated program through which we will give back to our communities. At the heart of our firm’s culture is a strong commitment to community service and the belief that giving back is essential to upholding our core values. Through this program, we aim to connect with organizations that are making a meaningful impact, reflecting our ongoing dedication to community and service in the regions where we have offices.
