Individually Talented, Collectively Powerful

Connecting with our communities is an important aspect of our firm culture. V&E lawyers and staff across the globe volunteer at charitable organizations and contribute their time, finances, and personal efforts to make a positive impact on those in need.

With purposeful involvement from the top levels across our firm, V&E’s inclusion efforts are focused on meaningful solutions that allow us to attract and retain top quality talent.

Pro bono initiatives provide an opportunity to connect with the human side of the practice of law and to give back to our communities. At V&E, our lawyers are guided by the principle that pro bono clients — like all of our clients — should be fully and effectively represented.

V&E’s Women’s Initiative empowers our women lawyers to build path-breaking legal careers. Our inclusion structure includes purposeful involvement from the top level. Having male and female partners actively involved in conversations around the success of women at our firm is a critical part of the solution to advancing and retaining women.

Racial and Social Justice Initiatives

As a firm, Vinson & Elkins stands in support of our Black attorneys and staff, and our communities that have been, and continue to be, deeply impacted by racial injustice and police brutality. We are steadfast in our conviction that there is no room in our organization or society for racism, discrimination, or injustice toward Black people or other people of color.
