Burns White is pleased to partner with Diversity Lab in the 2024-2025 Midsize Mansfield Rule certification program. The program is modeled after the original Mansfield Rule and will include approximately 70 midsize law firms.
The Midsize program is designed to increase the representation of diverse lawyers in leadership roles by broadening the pool of women, LGBTQ+ lawyers, lawyers with disabilities, and/or racial/ethnic minority lawyers who are considered for entry-level and lateral attorney job openings, leadership opportunities, equity partner promotions, and opportunities to connect with clients.
“We are proud to join the prestigious group of firms in the Midsize Mansfield Rule certification program,” said Mary-Jo Rebelo, Chief Executive Officer at Burns White. “Earning this certification is a significant milestone for our firm, reflecting our dedication to fostering an inclusive and diverse workplace and driving change for underrepresented lawyers in the legal profession.”
