Sutin, Thayer & Browne is committed to diversity in the legal profession.

In 2013, the firm joined global legal powerhouses Baker Botts and Beveridge & Diamond in earning the prestigious national AT&T Legal Diversity and Inclusion Award – the only three firms so honored in the United States.

In 2012, the firm became a women-majority-owned law firm, the largest such law firm in New Mexico and among the largest in the United States. 

In 2010, the firm earned the Minority Corporate Counsel Association’s Sager Award for the 10-state South/Southwest Region in recognition of achievements in hiring, retaining and promoting women and minority attorneys, joining international giants AT&T, Citgo, Shell, and Baker Botts law firm as honorees. 

We are proud of our history of recruiting and training the best and brightest lawyers among us.

Our firm has had a public-service–minded, small-“d” democratic nature, going out of its way beginning in the early 1970s to hire female lawyers in numbers, and continuing through the decades to seek out lawyers of various ethnic/racial heritage, ages, academic experiences and sexual identity. 

That tradition continues:  Our goals are to recruit, hire, train, mentor and maintain the best lawyers we can find for the best mix of skills, talents and experiences we can assemble.
