Firm News | 2 min read | 07.19.24

Washington – July 19, 2024: Bloomberg Law has named Crowell & Moring to its annual 2024 Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Framework for the fourth consecutive year.

The DEI Framework recognizes “law firms that meet or exceed an established threshold of diversity measured across areas such as recruitment and retention, leadership and talent pipelines, and business strategy—as determined by a panel of experts from industry, academia, and the legal industry.”

Crowell & Moring is one of 57 U.S.-based law firms that was named for its distinguished performance on DEI data reporting, as well as inclusive practices and offerings.

“Crowell’s commitment to DEI not only sets them apart, but also propels the entire legal field forward,” said Alex Butler, vice president, analysis and content, at Bloomberg Law. “We are proud to recognize their performance by listing them in our fourth annual Bloomberg Law DEI Framework.”

Bloomberg Law’s DEI Framework was developed in 2021 in collaboration with Bloomberg’s Gender-Equality Index team, as well as diversity leads at corporations and U.S.-based law firms. Performance is assessed across more than 85 metrics, each associated with one of the framework’s six core pillars: firm demographics, leadership and talent pipeline, recruitment and retention, business innovation and strategy, marketing, diversity and inclusion in the community, and disclosure.

More information about the Bloomberg Law 2024 DEI Framework and the full list of members is available here.
