Bailey & Glasser, LLP announced today that it is among only 26 law firms nationwide to achieve the first ever Midsize Mansfield Rule Certification. Created by the Diversity Lab, the Midsize Mansfield Rule Certification is designed to increase diversity at law firms by broadening the pool of candidates considered for positions at all levels. It measures whether law firms have affirmatively considered at least 30% women lawyers, underrepresented racial and ethnic lawyers, LGBTQ+ lawyers, and lawyers with disabilities for attorney positions, leadership and governance roles, equity partner promotions, and formal client pitch opportunities.
“Congratulations to everyone at the firm who helped make this certification possible,” said Benjamin Bailey, a founding partner of Bailey Glasser. “We recognize that solving the most consequential legal issues for our clients requires us to build a diverse legal team. Our participation in the Midsize Mansfield Rule Certification program is helping us do that. We look forward to continuing to work with the Diversity Lab on the next level of Certification for 2022 as we continue to foster a more inclusive workplace.”
