Since 2020, Tucker Ellis has participated in the Mansfield Rule, an annual certification process designed to ensure all talent at participating law firms and legal departments has a fair and equal opportunity to advance into leadership. We are proud to have earned the highest level of certification since our first year of participation.
The Mansfield Rule, administered by Diversity Lab, is a science-backed and data-driven inclusive sourcing process that helps boost inclusivity, equal access, and transparency in advancement processes and leadership roles at participating organizations. To maintain its effectiveness, the certification standards continue to evolve year-over-year based on data-backed insights. By taking part in this initiative, we continue to refine our internal processes and promote inclusive practices in how we staff matters, respond to client requests, and support the development of our attorneys.
