AUGUST 7, 2023 – For the third year in a row, Davis Wright Tremaine LLP has been included in the Bloomberg Law DEI Framework, a listing of law firms that meet or exceed a rising standard for diversity, equity, and inclusion.
The Framework recognizes law firms' commitment to DEI through a rigorous, quantitative methodology. Firms named to the Framework have shown distinguished performance against standards in each of six areas: firm demographics, leadership and talent pipeline, recruitment and retention, business innovation and strategy, marketing, and D&I in the community.
Davis Wright scored higher than the average survey response in every category.
"Our results indicate participants are not only talking about DEI but are putting plans into action," said Joseph P. Breda, president of Bloomberg Law.
Davis Wright has cemented its commitment to DEI within the new firmwide strategic plan. The firm's four-pillar DEI framework—Community, Growth, Education, and Engagement—seeks to embed DEI across the organization in a sustainable and meaningful way.
"We honored to be recognized by Bloomberg for a third consecutive year and commit to continue doing the work to advance diversity, equity, and inclusion in our law firm and the legal profession," said Yusuf Zakir, chief diversity, equity, and inclusion officer at Davis Wright.
