In 2019, McCarthy Tétrault launched Inclusion Now, an award-winning, multi-year plan that informs our vision to be the firm of choice for clients and talent. A first-of-its-kind in the Canadian legal profession, the firm built a dedicated Inclusion Office, led by a full-time Chief Inclusion Officer. Inclusion Now’s mandate is to integrate our values of diversity, authenticity, inclusion and corporate social responsibility into everything that we do and who we are as a firm. This includes developing internal action groups and partnering with external organizations to address the imbalance of diverse voices within the legal profession, and to support and encourage others in the legal community to develop similar initiatives.
