Am Law 100 firm Polsinelli has achieved Mansfield Plus certification for the third consecutive year. The firm has also signed up for the 2023-2024 program, which is now in its seventh 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 have affirmatively 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.
Mansfield Certification Plus designation is reserved for firms that voluntarily measure the outcomes of their inclusive processes and have achieved positive results.
