We take a relentless commitment to culture-building, deliberate investment in the career of every individual who joins us, and intentional and strategic integration of these core values into the business of the firm. We are relentless here at Barnes & Thornburg. Indeed, our commitment in this regard is not just something we do. Positioning all our talent to win is who we are.

Our Core Pillars




Talent Resource Groups (TRGs) are, by definition, “groups formed around a shared interest or common goal.” Open to everyone, our TRGs serve as yet another way for us to care for our most valuable asset—our talent—and to deliberately cultivate a work environment that is empowering for all. Barnes & Thornburg currently has 10 TRGs. Because they are formed organically from needs articulated by our teammates and because we are listening, more are certainly on the way.
