Alston & Bird has achieved Mansfield Rule 6.0 Certification, a rigorous, year-long certification program that aims to boost and sustain diversity in law firm leadership by broadening the pool of women lawyers, LGBTQ+ lawyers, lawyers with disabilities, and underrepresented racial and/or ethnic lawyers who are considered for senior lateral attorney job openings, firm governance opportunities, equity partner promotions, other firm leadership positions, and client interface opportunities.
To achieve Mansfield 6.0 Certification, firms must collaborate with Diversity Lab over a 12-month certification period with built-in measurement, transparency, and accountability mechanisms.
