Additional Information

At Crowell & Moring, we value and respect differences, knowing that diversity of culture and thought makes us a stronger firm. Under the leadership of our Chief Talent & Inclusion officer – overseeing our Recruitment, Professional Development, and Diversity, Equity & Inclusion functions of the firm – we have incorporated a talent development approach into the firm’s strategy of identifying and providing meaningful opportunities for all of our attorneys. We have advanced these goals through efforts such as our participation in the Mansfield Rule (of which we are 2.0, 3.0, and 4.0 certified); our establishment of the Crowell Rule, which supplements our Mansfield Rule efforts by requiring that every lateral associate, counsel and partner candidate position has an interview pool of 30% racial/ethnic and LGBTQ+ diversity and at least a 50% interview pool composed of women and lawyers from diverse backgrounds; our Diversity Pledge to double the number of lawyers from diverse backgrounds at each level, increasing the percentage of women and diverse lawyers in leadership positions, and adding 150 women and diverse lawyers to the firm within five years; and our ongoing engagement and business development support of our Asian Pacific Islander, Black, Hispanic & Latinx, Middle Eastern & North African, and LGBTQ+ lawyers. Our efforts have been recognized by Seramount’s (formerly Working Mother’s) Best Law Firms for Women for 11 consecutive years, LCLD’s Top Performer and/or Compass Awards for 6 consecutive years, and HRC’s Corporate Equality Index 100% score for 11 consecutive years, to name a few.
