In the wake of the tragic events of Charlottesville and beyond, and the robust public debate that has ensued over this week, we share deep concern and disappointment that such debate is even needed in the US. Dentons does not endorse or embrace racism, sexism, xenophobia, homophobia, anti-Semitism or any other kind of hate ideology. And we cannot countenance any false moral equivalency between such hate groups and organizations that practice civil disobedience.

We comprise more than 150 offices in over 60 countries around the globe sharing many languages and lifestyles, and we maintain the highest respect for the rights of all others, whether they are similar to or different from us. When we speak of being polycentric and multicultural as a Firm, our abiding commitment to diversity and inclusion is not merely words in our mission statement, but rather an embodiment of how we strive to live our ideals and advance the rule of law.

This week is a call to action that we must continue to work tirelessly in bettering our communities by using our position of responsibility. As a law firm, we have an unwavering obligation to help create a world free from intolerance, hate, racism and prejudice of any kind. And in spite of those who would sow hate and division in our society, we will continue to sow respect and empathy.
