Diversity Lab is proud to announce that more law firms than EVER before have committed to the 2024–25 Mansfield Certification process! This is proof. DEI is not dead. With 365+ US, UK, and Canadian firms — including 19 new firms — seeking Certification in this next cohort, the Mansfield community has never been stronger! These firms are showing that the legal profession is continuing to live its values and ensure that all of their talent has a transparent, fair, and equal opportunity to be considered for advancement into leadership. Several top firms have expressed their reasons for staying committed to this important work: Heather McDevitt, Chair at White & Case LLP said: “White & Case was one of the first firms to adopt Mansfield’s principles in 2017. We remain committed to the principles because a transparent and equitable approach to creating leadership opportunities for everyone benefits our talent and our clients and is an important contributor to our success.” And the leaders at Sidley Austin LLP have this to say: “We are proud to be part of the growing list of law firms demonstrating their commitment to inclusivity and talent retention through actions that have a proven track record. Adopting Mansfield reflects Sidley’s confidence in our Built to Win programs developed to ensure our attorneys have the opportunity for success and advancement that our clients expect from us,” said Yvette Ostolaza, Sidley’s Management Committee Chair. Mike Schmidtberger, Sidley’s Executive Committee Chair, added, “We share the Mansfield Certification goal of ensuring fair and equal opportunity for all lawyers. It aligns with Sidley’s mission to attract outstanding lawyers who reflect the global marketplace and the communities that we serve, and to help them reach their full potential.”   Year-over-year participation in Mansfield has proven to help firms make substantial progress in diversifying their leadership ranks.
