Reflecting on this recognition, Chief People Officer, Natasa Kosutic shared…

“At Fluet, we believe that true excellence in legal practice can only be achieved through a diverse and inclusive workforce. This recognition from Virginia Lawyers Weekly is a testament to our ongoing commitment to creating an environment where every team member feels valued, heard, and empowered to reach their full potential. We’re proud of our progress, but we also recognize that fostering diversity, equity, and inclusion is an ongoing journey, and we remain committed to continually evolving and improving our efforts.”

The firm is committed to fostering the professional development of all team members through tailored career planning, mentorship programs, and strategic networking opportunities. We place particular emphasis on ensuring equitable access to these resources, with the goal of empowering every individual to reach their full potential, regardless of background or circumstances. Our firm also actively participates in volunteer events and provides pro bono legal services to support diverse communities in our area. These efforts demonstrate our commitment to creating a workplace culture that values and promotes diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) at every level.

As we celebrate this recognition, we remain committed to continually improving our DEI efforts. In 2024, we plan to strengthen partnerships with diverse law schools, increase our presence at local career fairs, explore college tuition reimbursement programs for employees, and formalize employee resource groups to foster ongoing dialogue about workplace challenges. We are honored by this recognition from Virginia Lawyers Weekly and are more motivated than ever to continue our work in creating a legal profession that truly reflects and serves all members of our community.

At Fluet, we believe that embracing diversity, promoting equity, and fostering inclusion are not just goals—they are fundamental to our mission and values. We look forward to building on our progress and setting new standards for DEI in the legal industry. This recognition serves as both a validation of our efforts thus far and an inspiration to push even further in our commitment to creating a truly inclusive and equitable workplace for all.
