New York – October 28, 2024 – Based on the completion of Diversity Lab’s rigorous 12-month certification process, Cooley has again achieved Mansfield Rule Certification status in the US and
in the UK. These recognitions distinguish the firm and its continued commitment to achieving the high standards Diversity Lab sets for certification. The firm was further noted on Diversity Lab’s list of True Trailblazers, which highlights firms that have achieved certification for seven-plus years.
Mansfield Rule Certification measures whether law firms have affirmatively considered women, underrepresented racial and ethnic groups, LGBTQ+ lawyers and lawyers with disabilities for leadership and governance roles, equity partner promotions, formal client pitch opportunities and senior lateral positions. Firms participating in the program have demonstrated an unwavering commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) and are making meaningful progress on diversifying law firm leadership.
Cooley’s accomplishments that supported attaining this certification include:
Cooley will continue to participate in the Mansfield Rule program, and the firm recently became a signatory to Diversity Lab’s Disability Inclusion Commitments, through which law firms will implement reforms to broaden their culture of disability inclusivity.
Cooley is dedicated to maintaining a workplace that values and celebrates differences. The firm is widely recognized for its DEI efforts by leading industry organizations and publications – including recent honors from Seramount as a best law firm for women and diversity for the 13th time and earning a score of 100 on the Human Rights Campaign Foundation’s Corporate Equality Index for the seventh time.
