Diverse in many ways; clients include basketball players, rap stars and buttoned-down bankers

Article Abstract:

Boston's Chin, Wright and Branson is an example of workplace multiculturalism. Just two of the firm's nine attorneys are white men. Boston is a good place for a minority firm since it has over 40% minorities, but only 4% of Massachusetts attorneys are themselves minorities. About 70% of the work the firm does is bank-related and about 25% concerns the minority community. Chin, Wright is also one of the few US firms to have a forensics division, which does surveillance work, other kinds of sleuthing and handwriting analysis.
