About Us / Diversity, Equity & Inclusion

Growth

Building a diverse pipeline of talent and ensuring our professionals have equitable access to opportunities, information, leadership, and success.

We are committed to developing and advancing women, people of color, LGBTQ+ individuals, people with disabilities, and other underrepresented populations. Beginning with Mansfield Certification Plus designation to meaningful diversity pipeline recruiting initiatives to mentorship and sponsorship, we seek to train, develop, and promote our talent.

Pipeline & Recruiting

We have several programs to develop the pipeline of diverse talent, including our Pre-Law Diversity Fellowship, 1L Diversity Scholarship Program, Gregoire Fellows Program, and many more. We also recruit from Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), directly connect with diverse law student organizations, and participate in diverse career fairs for law students and lawyers.

Mansfield Certified Plus

The Mansfield Rule measures whether law firms have affirmatively considered at least 30% women, attorneys of color, LGBTQ+, and lawyers with disabilities in various categories. The Plus designation indicates that in addition to meeting or exceeding the baseline requirements, we have successfully reached at least 30 percent diverse lawyer representation in a notable number of our current leadership roles.

Mentorship & Sponsorship

Our Partner Mentor Program pairs each associate with a more experienced attorney; our client cross-mentoring program matches diverse associates with in-house counsel mentors; and our peer liaison program matches lateral associates with peers to help with integration.
