MKCI is proud to announce that our firm has achieved Mansfield Certification for 2023–24 and is reaffirming its commitment to Mansfield Certification for 2024-2025!
Mansfield is a year-long, structured certification process that we’ve committed to since the 2022-2023 cohort to ensure all talent at our firm has a fair and equal opportunity to advance into leadership. The focus is on opening the door wider and ensuring that opportunities for advancement are transparent and inclusive for everyone. This is for the benefit of our talent and our clients. By asking that at least 30% of our talent pools considered for leadership roles consist of underrepresented groups and that our advancement processes are transparent, Mansfield ensures a level playing field for all.
Data shows that firms that remain committed and accountable to the Mansfield Certification process year-over-year are making substantial progress in creating inclusive talent practices and diversifying their leadership ranks. We have experienced positive progress at our firm since we joined Mansfield, and we remain committed to taking measurable actions to ensure that our processes are — and remain — inclusive.
We are proud to stand with the 360+ firms that have achieved Mansfield Certification to advance a core value in the legal profession: the belief that everyone should have a fair opportunity for career advancement. We believe that by making our workplace one where everyone can succeed, we can better serve our clients and communities. MKCI will continue to build teams that reflect the diversity of our clients and communities while providing innovative counsel and exceptional service. Our “Commitment to Excellence” demands of us that we attain this Certification and pursue what it requires. That commitment will continue.
