DENVER — Holland & Hart is proud to announce that for the fifth consecutive year, it has achieved Mansfield Rule Certification and Mansfield Certification Plus status following the year-long Mansfield Rule 5.0 program, an initiative of Diversity Lab. We are proud of this achievement, which demonstrates that our firm not only took deliberate steps to expand the list of those considered for leadership positions within our organization, but also achieved diverse representation in key leadership positions during this past year.
The certification measures whether law firms have affirmatively considered at least 30% women lawyers, underrepresented racial/ethnic lawyers, LGBTQ+ lawyers, and lawyers with disabilities for leadership and governance roles, equity partner promotions, formal client pitch opportunities, senior lateral positions, and more.
Holland & Hart is also proud to announce it is one of 108 firms to have achieved “Mansfield Certification Plus” status, which is granted to a firm that has also successfully reached at least 30% underrepresented lawyer representation in a number of leadership roles.
“The Mansfield Rule program has been a significant driver in supporting Holland & Hart’s diversity, equity, and inclusion endeavors by providing a valuable framework to ensure that we intentionally measure, analyze, and account for diversity in our initiatives,” said Phyllis Wan, Holland & Hart’s Chief Diversity and Inclusion Officer. “We value and appreciate the Mansfield certification process as an important component of our longstanding commitment to foster and maintain a work environment that ensures DEI permeates all that we do while also maintaining a workplace that nourishes and respects the dignity and diversity of each individual.”
Holland & Hart is one of the law firms which participated in the inaugural Mansfield Rule program and has signed on to the Mansfield Rule 6.0 program for the 2022-2023 year. For more information about Mansfield Rule 5.0 Certification, see Diversity Lab’s Mansfield 5.0 Open Letter.
