Greenspoon Marder Achieves Mansfield Rule 5.0 Certification

News Oct 19, 2022 Fort Lauderdale, FL

Fort Lauderdale, Fla. – October 19, 2022 – Greenspoon Marder is pleased to announce that the firm has successfully achieved Mansfield Rule 5.0 Certification. The Mansfield Rule was named after Arabella Mansfield, the first female lawyer admitted to practice law in the US in 1869, and serves to increase representation of historically underrepresented talent in law firms. The Mansfield Rule Certification was founded by a human resources services company named Diversity Lab that works with law firms and legal departments across the globe.

In order to achieve Mansfield Rule Certification, law firms are required to demonstrate a yearlong progress to increase diversity in senior lateral positions, leadership and governance roles (including equity partner promotions), and formal client pitch opportunities, by considering a minimum of 30%-50% underrepresented candidates for such roles.

“Over the past year, we have been thrilled to surround ourselves with fellow thought leaders and legal professionals who share our passion for D&I in the workplace. We are proud of the new tools, processes and programs that will continue to further Greenspoon Marder’s dedication to diversity and inclusion,” says Myrna Maysonet, the firm’s Chief Diversity Officer and Partner in Labor and Employment Law. As the Firm pursues re-certification and reflects on internal processes for committee appointments, lateral hiring, and promotions, Greenspoon Marder leadership will continue striving to ensure that this process better positions itself to meet clients’ needs, while fostering meaningful positive changes across the board.
