Diversity - Collins Einhorn Farrell PC

Our
Perspective

Collins Einhorn Farrell adheres to a strict policy against discrimination and harassment based on race, color, sex, age, religion, national origin, disability, marital status, sexual orientation, gender identity, veteran's status, genetic information, or any other legally protected status. The goal is a collegial and respectful work-related environment with respect and dignity for everyone.

Age

We have experienced firsthand that excellence has no age requirements; what matters to us is competence, hard-work, and collaboration. Collins Einhorn has a robust variety of team members, ranging from students and recent grads, established professionals, and post-retirees. Regardless of where you land in the generational spectrum, you are considered an equally valuable part of our team with a perspective worthy of being heard.

Disability

At Collins Einhorn, we focus on the talents and abilities of our team members, not their limitations. Individuals with disabilities will be considered for employment and accommodated pursuant to the provisions of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and/or the Michigan Persons with Disabilities Civil Rights Act (MPWDCR).

Gender

At Collins Einhorn, everyone possesses equal opportunities regardless of gender. The proof: 47% of our firm leadership (partners, shareholders, and administrative management) are female. This includes our CEO and co-managing partner, Theresa Asoklis. We believe that our gender-diverse team is a valuable asset, and we compensate our employees as such, ensuring equal pay and professional development opportunities.

Race,
Religion,
& Ethnicity

Racial, ethnic, and religious diversity in our firm enriches our daily environment. Diversity not only improves our company culture but also provides us with the multicultural perspective needed to provide the best service to our clients.

Military
Veterans

Whether you are currently transitioning into a civilian career or served in the past, military training and experience are highly valued for their ability to promote strong discipline, teamwork, problem-solving skills, and leadership. At Collins Einhorn, we believe the knowledge you've obtained serving our country can translate into a fulfilling career as part of our team.

Family &
Lifestyle

At Collins Einhorn, we believe that it is critical to provide our team with the resources and schedule flexibility they need to maintain balance in their life outside work. Our family-friendly benefits include flex-time, half-day Fridays in the summer, and a generous parental leave policy.

Identity

Being yourself is not something you should have to compromise as you build a career. The Firm prohibits discrimination and/ or harassment of employees or candidates on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity.

Students

Collins Einhorn Farrell encourages students from every social and economic background to consider a career in the legal profession. We strive to support these students in the realization of their full potential. Our approach to diversity is an investment in the future of our practice and in the broader legal profession.
