"I chose DWT because of the warm and supportive attorneys I met during the interview process. My experience as a first-year associate confirmed that I made the right decision. Not only have I been given challenging work right from the beginning, but DWT has also provided me with the encouragement and support to meet these challenges with confidence and skill. I also chose DWT because of its commitment to diversity and pro bono work, essential I believe, to developing a well-rounded legal career." Minh Ngo, Associate (Summer Associate, 2004)

At DWT we believe that a diverse work force provides better service to our clients and a better work environment for our attorneys and staff. We have thus made recruitment, retention and promotion of attorneys who add to our overall diversity, including attorneys of color and underrepresented groups, a priority for our firm. To help us meet our commitment to diversity, we have established the DWT 1L Diversity Scholarship Program. This year, DWT will offer three scholarships, which consist of a paid Summer Clerkship (two positions in our Seattle office and one position in our Portland office) and $7,500 for the student’s second year tuition and expenses.
