diversity, equity & inclusion

A culture of belonging

We believe great work comes from different perspectives—and that our clients are best served when our teams reflect the diversity of the communities we work in every day.

Our commitment

At Rubin Rudman, we’re building a culture where everyone feels seen, heard, and empowered to lead. That means creating space for authenticity and belonging, while holding ourselves accountable to the values of equity and inclusion—not just internally, but across the profession and in partnership with our clients.

We know that DEI isn’t a box to check. It’s a continuous process of listening, learning, and showing up—with humility, urgency, and purpose. From firm leadership to interns, every individual contributes to shaping our workplace where difference is respected and equity is a shared responsibility.

Our people bring a range of lived experiences, identities, and perspectives to our firm. That diversity strengthens the way we think, collaborate, and solve problems. It allows us to serve our clients with greater cultural fluency, empathy, and strategic insight. And it creates a more vibrant, forward-thinking legal community.

We’re proud to support organizations that share our commitment to inclusion, including the Massachusetts Black Lawyers Association, Massachusetts LGBTQ Bar Association, South Asian Bar Association, Massachusetts Women’s Bar Association, and the SJC Standing Committee on Lawyer Well-Being. We also partner with the Justice Resource Institute and other nonprofits advancing social equity and access to justice across the Commonwealth.

Within the firm, we’re committed to investing in mentorship, development, and firmwide education to drive meaningful progress. Because the work of DEI is never done—and we’re here for the long haul.

Vision

Our goal is to provide opportunities for personal and professional growth to all of our employees regardless of race, ethnicity, religion, gender, age, national origin, sexual orientation, gender identity, disability, or gender expression. We encourage everyone to be who they are and we value their unique talents, experiences, differences and perspectives.
We seek to provide opportunities for change, growth, involvement and allyship where we can make a difference for our firm and the community we serve.

2024 Convite Banilejo

Rubin and Rudman was proud to sponsor the 2024 Convite Banilejo, a celebration of the vibrant Dominican Community in Boston. Attorneys Ariadna Caulfield and Steven Carr had an amazing time and enjoyed collaborating with leaders and entrepreneurs of the community, while also meeting officials of the City of Boston, including Boston Mayor Michelle Wu. We’re excited to continue our partnership with Banilejos Unidos en el Exterior and bringing vital legal resources to the Latin Community.
