Phillips Nizer Achieves Mansfield Certification Plus
06/13/2023Phillips Nizer, in its continued efforts to create and support a diverse leadership, is proud to announce the achievement of Mansfield Certification Plus status.
The Mansfield Certification, facilitated by Diversity Lab, recognizes the structural changes and actions firms take over an 18-month period to broaden the slate of talent considered in hiring efforts and for internal leadership roles.
Certification “Plus” status indicates that, in addition to successfully meeting basic requirements, Phillips Nizer has achieved 30% representation of historically underrepresented lawyers in current leadership roles and pathway activities.
“We are honored to be part of this select group of Mansfield certified firms. Diversity is at the core of our values and this recognition underscores our continued commitment to this effort,” said managing partner Marc A. Landis.
"We are deeply committed to creating a diverse environment in our firm and have made significant strides over the years toward this effort. Achieving Mansfield Certification is a tremendous step in moving our mission forward and we are grateful for this recognition,” stated partner Christian B. Hylton, Racial, Equity, Diversity & Inclusion (“REDI”) Task Force Leader.
Regina E. Faul, Partner and Chair, Employment & Labor Law Practice added, “Creating a diverse and inclusive environment is a continuous process and we are fully committed to implementing actionable steps within our policies, processes and culture to fully realize this vision”.
