Walsworth is excited to announce that we have achieved Mansfield Certification Plus! The Mansfield Certification, facilitated by #DiversityLab, recognizes the structural changes and actions the firm has taken over the past 18 months to diversify leadership by broadening the slate of talent considered for internal leadership roles and increasing transparency. The Certification “Plus” status indicates that, in addition to successfully meeting the consideration and transparency requirements, Walsworth has achieved 30% representation of historically underrepresented lawyers in current leadership roles and pathway activities. "We began this certification process in September 2021, and have worked diligently to ensure that we have continued to foster an environment characterized by transparency, clarity, authenticity, and diversity, in accordance with Diversity Lab's stringent requirements," said Dee Cohen Katz, Managing Partner. "Our results not only met these requirements, but exceeded them. As a result, we are a better firm with diverse representation at the highest levels, including in our Steering Committee, Compensation Committee, Promotions Committee, and Practice Group Leaders." “We are so proud of this achievement and every member of our firm who has embraced our core values and practices them each day," said Soniya Khemlani, Partner and Chair of Walsworth's Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Committee. "Achieving #MidsizeMansfield Plus Certification status is a testament to our commitment to diversity, professional development, and fairness. Diversity is one of our firm's key strengths, and this certification is validation of our efforts and hard work to make Walsworth a firm that finds common ground in a shared set of core values and celebrates our differences."
