Overview
(August 9, 2024, Washington, DC) – For the third year in a row, Steptoe has been named to Bloomberg Law's Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Framework. The DEI Framework includes law firms that meet or exceed a rising standard for diversity, equity, and inclusion in their firms. 57 US-based law firms were recognized for their level of disclosure of diversity-related metrics and distinguished performance against six core pillars: general demographics; leadership and talent pipeline; recruitment and retention; business innovation and strategy; marketing and diversity and inclusion in the community; and disclosure.
The DEI Framework was developed in 2021 in collaboration with Bloomberg's Gender-Equality Index team and diversity leads at corporations and US-based law firms. Performance was assessed across more than 85 metrics, each associated with one of the framework's six core pillars.
