Wyrick Robbins is proud to announce that the firm is reaffirming its commitment to Mansfield Certification for the 2024-25 program cycle, building on a long-standing commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI).
Mansfield Certification, administered by Diversity Lab, is designed to increase the representation of historically underrepresented groups in law firm leadership through a structured, data-driven approach. Through its participation in the certification process, Wyrick Robbins has enhanced the transparency and accessibility of leadership opportunities. Specifically, at least 30% of candidates considered for key leadership roles, promotions, client service teams, and other critical opportunities must be from historically underrepresented groups, including racial or ethnic minorities, women, LGBTQ+ individuals, and individuals with disabilities. By embedding the program's accountability, transparency, and knowledge sharing standards into its talent practices, Wyrick Robbins can help ensure that all members of its workforce have a fair and equal opportunity to be considered for leadership roles.
Managing Partner Todd Eveson commented, "We are proud to reaffirm our commitment to Mansfield Certification for 2024-25. By cultivating an environment where everyone can succeed, we enrich our culture and strengthen the diverse and exceptional experience that our clients expect from us."
As part of the largest Mansfield cohort to date, now 365+ firms strong, Wyrick Robbins is excited to be part of a community that shares its commitment to advancing DEI in the legal profession. The firm remains focused on taking measurable actions to ensure that its workplace is - and remains - diverse, equitable, and inclusive.
