In line with our dedication to Social Responsibility, Licks Attorneys has partnered with 3 organizations, reaffirming our commitment to the community:
Gamboa Ação: A non-profit organization, providing assistance to children at risk in the port region of Rio de Janeiro through donations and participation in voluntary actions on significant dates such as World Health Day, Charity Day, Children's Day, and Christmas.
Editora InVerso: Promoting an annual distribution of books for children in different regions of Brazil through a program called Aconchego Literário.
Darcy Vargas Foundation (FDV): Contributing to the development of educational, physical, and cultural activities for local children and teenagers. Additionally, our support for the institution includes the hiring of teenagers for part-time work through the federal program "Jovem Aprendiz".
Licks Attorneys recognizes the importance of diversity and inclusion, which is evident in our diverse team. We take pride in showcasing several initiatives implemented to cultivate a more inclusive culture.
For instance, in order to ensure that the hiring of new members is done fairly and equitably, we use a platform for blind hiring that strips away all identifiable characteristics unrelated to the job or to the experience required for the position, including race, identity, gender, age, religion, or sexual orientation. This ensures that the assessment of candidates is based solely on their skills and knowledge, removing subjective factors that could influence decision making.
Gender equality is part of Licks Attorneys' DNA: thanks to equal opportunities for internal growth, more than half of our management positions are held by women. Since 2020, Licks Attorneys has promoted and welcomed nine new partners, four of which are women.
Licks Attorneys has also implemented a new policy on maternity leave, extending it to six months (two beyond what is mandatory under Brazilian law), and on paternity leave, extending it to up to 20 days (in contrast to the 5 days required by law in Brazil). These initiatives are part of an ambitious agenda to transform our professional culture.
We also engage in unique initiatives such as celebrating International Women's Day by raising awareness among our female professionals on the importance of maintaining good mental health and nutrition practices.
Reflecting our dedication, our partner and retired Appellate Judge Liliane Roriz was recognized with the WIPR Diversity Award. Ms. Roriz was honored as a Diversity Champion in IP, an accolade given to those who have made significant contributions to make the profession more inclusive for all.
