diversity fellowship program

Throughout the years, the Firm has actively recruited qualified candidates with diverse backgrounds and perspectives to foster an inclusive workplace and better serve our clients. In cooperation with several local law schools, the Firm instituted a Diversity Fellowship Program aimed at attracting law students to clerk in the Firm’s Uniondale office. Each Fellowship recipient served as a legal clerk for which they received an academic scholarship stipend to be applied toward law school tuition for the academic year.

“Our Diversity Fellowship Program has been hugely successful and is an effective method to bring diversity into our attorney ranks, while at the same time giving back to the legal community by fostering relationships with diverse communities and assisting students studying for a career in the legal profession,” said Partner Brian R. Sahn, chair of the Firm’s Diversity Committee.

“As part of our commitment to diversity and attracting top legal candidates, the Firm plans on continuing the program for years to come,” stated Partner John V. Terrana, who is in charge of attorney hiring at the Firm.
