Bricker Graydon Continues Commitment to Diversity with Ongoing Participation in Diversity Lab’s Mansfield Rule

Bricker Graydon is proud to announce its continued commitment to widening the leadership talent pool by participating in the Mansfield Rule 2024-2025 cohort. As part of this initiative, the firm reaffirms its dedication to improving diversity and inclusion in the legal profession by ensuring that at least 30% of candidates considered for leadership positions, equity partner promotions, and senior lateral openings are from historically underrepresented groups, including women, racial and ethnic groups, LGBTQ+ lawyers, and lawyers with disabilities.

The Mansfield Rule, a rigorous certification process launched by Diversity Lab, has been a pivotal element in Bricker Graydon’s diversity strategy. By participating in the 2024-2025 cohort, the firm not only seeks to maintain its Mansfield Certification status but also aims to achieve the Mansfield Certification Plus status, which recognizes firms that have successfully reached the 30% threshold in key leadership areas.

As early adopters of the Mansfield Rule, Bricker Graydon's involvement is part of its broader diversity and inclusion strategy, which includes various initiatives aimed at promoting equity and inclusion within the firm and the legal industry. As the firm looks forward to the future, it remains steadfast in its commitment to creating a workplace where all individuals have the opportunity to succeed and lead.
