Diversity & Inclusion

Drew Eckl & Farnham has both extraordinary opportunity and a special responsibility to maintain a culture that nurtures diversity in interests, sexual orientation, age, religion, and physical ability. Our commitment to promoting and encouraging diversity is illustrated by policies, initiatives, and programs established across offices, including efforts in recruiting, training and retention. Our firm-supported affinity groups include those who self-identify as or are allied with African American, Asian American/Pacific Islander and women lawyers.
To show our commitment to promoting D&I at our firm, we are one of the trailblazing firms partnering with Diversity Lab to pilot the inaugural Midsize Mansfield Rule. Mansfield Rule certification measures whether law firms have affirmatively considered women, attorneys of color, LGBTQ+ attorneys, and attorneys with disabilities as at least 30 percent of the candidate pool for recruitment, governance roles, equity partner promotions, and inclusion in formal pitches to clients.
Beginning September 15, Drew Eckl & Farnham will work collaboratively with more than 20 midsize law firms throughout the US to pilot a new iteration of the Mansfield Rule. The Midsize Mansfield Rule certification process, modeled after the original version, has been fine-tuned to boost diversity in leadership for firms with smaller lawyer populations, fewer office locations, and leaner firm leadership structures.
