At Foster Garvey, you will work alongside attorneys and staff motivated by excellent client service. You will find resources and mentors to help you grow professionally and work with a team that values everyone’s contributions. As a member of the Foster Garvey team, you will work in a culture that is collaborative and collegial. You will be encouraged, and have opportunities, to work on public service matters.

Diversity, equity, and inclusion are core values at Foster Garvey that are integrated into the firm’s culture and the way we do business. Guiding Foster Garvey’s actions in these important areas is the Opportunity & Progress Council (OPC), which establishes and executes the firm’s strategic initiatives aimed at breaking down institutional and cultural barriers to diversity, equity, and inclusion, and creating a shared environment where everyone can do their best work together.
