Drew Eckl & Farnham is proud to have achieved Mansfield Certification Plus for 2024–2025, reflecting our steadfast commitment to fairness, transparency, and equal opportunity.
Looking ahead, we're also pleased to confirm our renewed commitment to the 2025–2026 certification cycle, joining over 275 peer firms dedicated to a fairer, more transparent path to leadership in the law.
Mansfield's data-driven certification process ensures that all qualified talent has a fair and equal opportunity to advance into leadership roles. We have committed to making our advancement processes more transparent and to expanding talent pools for hiring and promotions.
We also appreciate that a US Federal Court recently affirmed that Mansfield aligns with anti-discrimination laws, reinforcing the legal integrity and strength of our work alongside other Mansfield Certified firms.
Our Ongoing Commitment
Since joining Mansfield, we have taken deliberate steps to improve
inclusivity and transparency in leadership pathways, including:
- Publishing clear and accessible descriptions for leadership roles and advancement processes;
- Encouraging partners to join Mansfield career advancement opportunities—practice pitch sessions, Client Forums, and in-person networking and learning events—to build relationships with legal department leaders who value inclusivity;
- Showcasing our diverse teams of talent through initiatives like Counsel Spotlight, a platform now used by 80+ legal departments to find exceptional outside counsel; and
- Participating in monthly cross-firm learning sessions to share best practices and problem-solve challenges.
By ensuring all lawyers have a fair opportunity to succeed, we are better equipped to serve you, our clients, and our communities.
