Am Law 100 firm Polsinelli is pleased to share that it has achieved Mansfield Plus certification for the fourth consecutive year. The firm has also signed up for the 2024-2025 program, which is now in its eighth iteration.

The Mansfield Rule is a structured certification process designed to ensure all talent at participating law firms has a fair and equal opportunity to advance into leadership. Mansfield is focused on broadening the talent pool for consideration, including those historically underrepresented in the legal profession, to facilitate transparent pathways to leadership. Certified firms considered broad slates of qualified talent for leadership roles that included at least 30% historically underrepresented lawyers—such as women lawyers, underrepresented racial and ethnic lawyers, LGBTQ+ lawyers and lawyers with disabilities. In addition, as part of the certification process, these firms have worked towards enhancing the transparency of their leadership roles, advancement processes and compensation policies.

Mansfield Certification Plus designation is reserved for firms that voluntarily measure the outcomes of their inclusive processes and have achieved positive results.

“We are honored to receive Plus certification for the fourth consecutive year, which is testament to our commitment to promote women and lawyers from underrepresented communities into leadership positions at Polsinelli,” said Philip G. Hampton, II, Polsinelli’s Chief Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Officer. “While we are proud of our accomplishments towards creating a workplace that provides every employee with a sense of true inclusion and belonging, we will continue to meet and exceed the expectations set forth by Diversity Lab.”
