We speak and practice Impact & Sustainability, because it matters.
At Seyfarth, we are leading the legal profession and our firm’s stakeholders at the forefront of Impact & Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) every day, in every way.
We know that each client, product, service, and team member has an impact.
We also know that being intentional about the impact our clients and our firm have on the world matters more than ever to stakeholders of every organization.
Aligned with our core values, our commitment to Impact & ESG can be found in all aspects of our firm around the world.
With every member of our global team, each community where we are located, and every day, we are presented with opportunities to enhance the positive impact we have on the world around us and support our clients’ impact.
Seyfarth maintains a keen firmwide awareness that this work matters and it is essential to thrive.
From our groundbreaking commitment to Talent, and from our commitment to environmental stewardship, Seyfarth offers countless opportunities to engage for every person who contributes to and is served by our team of professionals.
People
Our people are our strongest asset. Seyfarth knows that an investment in our team maximizes impact in their lives, careers, and in their service to our clients.
We provide substantive training programs and create opportunities for cross-office and department relationship building.
We also recognize how important the health of our people is to our continued performance as a firm. That is why we created Seyfarth Life, our targeted effort to increase the firm’s organizational resiliency through a focus on well-being and performance. Seyfarth Life enables the firm to achieve the highest levels of client service and career satisfaction for all personnel through individual development, innovative benefits and career paths, user-friendly technology solutions, and the cultivation of strong interpersonal relationships.
Planet
Seyfarth’s commitment to environmental sustainability is strong and always growing – locally and globally. From our Executive Committee and firmwide, cross-functional Environmental Impact Committee to our newest attorneys and staff in every office location around the world; from our LEED certified offices to our vendor selection process; and from our philanthropy to our community service work, we prioritize both awareness and action on who and how we are as stewards of environmentally sustainable best practices. We care about our communities and our planet, so we take action to preserve and improve them.
Seyfarth continues to commit to and improve our communities with our time, money, and knowledge.
Client Service - Impact & Sustainability
Our clients are more committed to Impact & ESG than ever before. And we are committed to serving this growing need with dynamic, innovative client services.
Seyfarth attorneys serve as counselors committed to meeting our clients where they are and guiding them on where they want to go. As business paradigms shift to a holistic look at an organization’s purpose and impact in their markets, in their communities, and through the work of their teams we partner with and guide our clients each step of the way.
The Seyfarth Impact & Sustainability practice works across our firm to unite the time and talent of our professionals in service to clients across the growing dimensions of environmental, social, and governance impact.
Our practice encompasses services that guide companies in structuring the governance and pathways for creating an effective impact and ESG program and strategy as well as supplementary services touching a variety of specific ESG dimensions in which clients already operate.
These supplementary services help connect the dots from siloed areas to the broader ESG umbrella that is integrated with corporate strategy. Spanning the spectrum from supply chain responsibility, governance of a human capital and environmental priorities, policy development, and impact investing, among other areas.
Seyfarth supports its clients in their work to do good while doing well in alignment with their purpose, and provides value-forward guidance to clients working to enhance their Impact & ESG work every day.
We know that clients need and value informed, efficient, and collaborative counsel, including on matters of impact, ESG, and beyond. That’s why Seyfarth prioritizes our firmwide commitment to Impact & Sustainability and why our clients continually seek out our guidance in their work.
