The Lewis Thomason law firm announced it achieved Mansfield Certification after an 18-month collaboration with Diversity Lab. The Mansfield Certification recognizes the structural changes, actions, focus and work taken to diversify leadership in the firm by broadening the slate of talent considered for internal leadership roles and increasing transparency with written and accessible advancement processes and role descriptions. The certification measures whether midsize firms have considered at least 30% women lawyers, underrepresented racial and ethnic lawyers, LGBTQ+ lawyers, and lawyers with disabilities for leadership and governance roles, equity partner promotions, formal client pitches, lateral lawyer hiring and more. While working to achieve these benchmarks, the firm embedded transparency in its advancement processes through written leadership role descriptions and clearly defined pathways to leadership.
