Workplace Culture

At Porter Wright, we want our firm to be a welcoming place for all who work and do business here. We are better lawyers, friends, allies and community members when we embrace our individualities.

We strive each day to create a welcoming culture at Porter Wright. We know that this goal can only be achieved by working together in many areas and we are proud to share some of the steps we are taking.
