Inclusion

For almost one hundred years, our firm’s success has been rooted in our dedication to recruiting and retaining exceptional individuals who embody our core values: a relentless commitment to achieving the best possible outcomes for our clients, upholding the highest standards of professionalism, and providing genuine support to one another. Fostering a welcoming, inclusive environment—where individual differences and viewpoints are respected and valued—has been fundamental to our success. We believe that when people with different perspectives collaborate with the shared purpose of delivering outstanding results for our clients and building a prosperous, dynamic firm, our law practice operates at its very best.

Our approach is straightforward:

• We recruit from the broadest pool to attract the best and brightest from all walks of life and backgrounds. We look for people who are intelligent, creative, collaborative, ethical, energetic, and committed to professional excellence. 
• We treat everyone with dignity and respect.
• We promote teamwork and a sense of community across our offices, practice groups, and professionals.
• We encourage open communication and constructive collaboration. 
• We support professional development of our attorneys and administrative professionals through training and mentorship. 
• We reward excellence and hire, evaluate, and promote based on the demonstrated skills, performance, and potential of each individual person.

As we move into our second century, this approach will continue to guide us, ensuring it shapes our decisions, interactions, and collaboration. We believe that by staying true to these principles, we will continue to provide exceptional results for our clients, while maintaining a strong and cohesive firm.

McGinnis Lochridge’s Women’s Initiative Committee (WIC) is comprised of both female and male attorneys, senior level staff, and the firm's Managing Partner. The committee supports female attorneys in various stages of their career while focusing on matters unique to women.  The committee aims to encourage connectivity, enhance mentoring, bolster professional development, create leadership opportunities, and foster increased activity with local professional and business organizations. This committee allows McGinnis to cultivate a culture of collaboration and respect, while enabling us to more fully understand and address the needs of our female attorneys, staff, and clientele.

The Women's Initiative Committee also hosts a number of events each year that bring women in leadership roles together to share ideas, network, and support one another.
