We are proud to announce that we have achieved Mansfield Certification for a fifth straight year.
Mansfield Certification, an initiative from Diversity Lab, measures the structural steps we have taken to enhance inclusivity at our firm and increase diversity in leadership. We are making progress by fostering transparency through written and accessible advancement processes and broadening the slate of talent considered for internal leadership roles.
“We are honored to announce our Mansfield Certification, a testament to our continued commitment to diversity, inclusion, and equitable leadership. Our certification signifies the steps we've taken to ensure that our paths to leadership are open and accessible to all,” said Bobby Gerber, Managing Partner. “We've worked diligently to make our advancement processes transparent and inclusive, and to ensure that we consider a broad pool of talent for available opportunities. With diverse leadership, we are better equipped to address the needs of our entire workforce and to provide the highest levels of service to our clients.”
As outlined in this recent American Lawyer article by two data scientists, participating in Mansfield leads to more equitable professional development opportunities and, ultimately, a more diverse leadership. This scientific and data-driven approach to boosting inclusion and equity embeds accountability, transparency, and knowledge sharing into our talent practices.
