Why Fross Zelnick?

Diversity is Our Reality.

In some workplaces, diversity is a checkbox—a requirement to be met mechanically, soullessly, and nothing more. But at Fross Zelnick, diversity is our identity.

Fross welcomes, celebrates, and includes every community.
Women and members of the LGBTQ+ community have been an integral part of our firm’s executive committee for 30 years.
Half our partners and over half of our associates are women; Asian, African American, Caucasian and Latinx professionals are all represented in our firm.
Our professional staff are led by dedicated and diverse senior managers in all departments; paralegal services, accounting and finance, payroll, people operations and benefits, marketing, and business development.

We achieved these results by hiring the best talent—people with passion for their work. Diversity followed as a natural consequence.

Fross Zelnick’s diversity committee safeguards this tradition. As a sign of its importance to us, the committee is led by an equity partner—a rare arrangement among our peers. She is committed to ensuring that our history as a haven for diverse professionals will endure.

Our firm is dedicated and focused on helping you become extraordinary at your job. Our professional and talent development staff will help you expand your capabilities, and, if necessary, help you refocus your role to best suit your strengths.

We are Your People.

In any workplace, there are the intangibles. The way colleagues treat you. Whether anyone hears your concerns. A sense of community and purpose.

At our firm, you’ll feel the difference. We have always hired the best talent—people with passion for their work. This uncommon denominator has made our firm into more than just a well-managed team. We’re a community. A family.
