Our pro bono work: Commitment with impact
We use our time and expertise to support pro bono clients in achieving their goals—from development aid and the protection of cultural diversity and the environment to supporting disadvantaged groups. Every project is unique and deserves our full attention.
Diversity is our strength
EDI at NEUWERK: Diversity as a strength
EDI („Equity, Diversity & Inclusion“) is a living practice at NEUWERK. As an innovative commercial law firm, we see diversity as a strength and create an appreciative environment. Because only together we grow sustainably.
„It’s not your fault that the world is as it is. But it would be your fault if it stays that way."

What we stand for
Corporate
Social
Responsibility
We are reducing our environmental footprint, promoting sustainable mobility, and acting sustainably. We are taking responsibility for the environment and society through a variety of activities.
EDI stands for “Equity, Diversity & Inclusion.”
At NEUWERK, these are not just buzzwords, but essential components of our values and corporate culture. As an innovative and steadily growing commercial law firm, we are aware of our special social responsibility.
We are convinced that diversity is one of our strengths and are actively committed to creating an environment in which all employees feel welcome and valued. A diverse and inclusive environment not only enriches our law firm, but also strengthens the quality of our services and is the basis for long-term success.

Awareness
Diversity and inclusion are an integral part of our firm culture. Through internal seminars (e.g. unconscious bias training or privilege workshops), we raise awareness of structural issues and promote open and inclusive dialogue.
Further initiatives and activities will follow—because for us, living diversity is a continuous process.
Equal participation
Our firm stands for equality—with a balanced gender representation up to the partnership level. We are also committed to ensuring that all dimensions of diversity are recognized and everyone is given equal opportunities for participation.
Internal focus group
Our internal EDI focus group, in particular, is continuously committed to promoting an open and inclusive working environment. Through regular seminars and other activities/events, we raise awareness of diversity and promote a culture of mutual respect and appreciation.
Our goal is to ensure that all employees have equal access to professional and career opportunities, and we are proud to create a working environment characterized by respect, openness, and fairness—because we know that we can only truly grow together.
