Selendy Gay was conceptualized with equity and inclusion at the very heart of our culture.
As a firm, we continuously examine equity and inclusion efforts in our industry as well as our own infrastructure, recruiting, and training programs. We consider the host of challenges faced by groups who historically have been underrepresented in the legal profession.
Out of that examination, we've developed the Selendy Gay Fellowship that focuses on attracting, retaining, and nurturing outstanding candidates from a variety of different backgrounds.
Selendy Gay provides long-term, individually-tailored training, mentoring and post-recruitment support to help all our associates achieve their long-term potential. Fellowship recipients, like all of our associates, will have access to long-term professional and personal support, while giving them the agency to opt in and out based on their specific needs and goals.
Support is bespoke and includes (but is not limited to):
Fellows will also receive a $50,000 payment made in tranches.
The Fellowship is open to rising 2Ls who identify as members of groups that have been historically underrepresented in the legal profession.
The fellowship is now open and will close on September 1st.
Applicants are invited to submit an essay detailing their interest in the fellowship and highlighting their potential for success at Selendy Gay. The essay should also discuss personal and professional experiences and achievements that demonstrate a commitment to promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion in their school, workplace, and/or community.
Responses should be limited to 1,000 words and double-spaced, and should be submitted to fellowship@selendygay.com. We will only consider your application for the Fellowship once you have received an offer for employment.
