Overview
(July 18, 2023, Washington, DC) – Steptoe has again been named to Bloomberg Law's Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Framework. 55 US-based law firms were recognized for their level of disclosure of diversity-related metrics and distinguished performance against six core pillars: demographics, leadership and talent pipeline, recruitment and retention, business innovation and strategy, marketing, and diversity & inclusion in the community.
"DEI remains a critical factor for general counsel seeking to engage law firms that reflect their values, and we've brought our industry expertise and strength in data analytics to bear in assessing how law firms are performing in this critical arena," said Joe Breda, President, Bloomberg Law. "Through a demonstrated commitment to DEI, Steptoe is helping to move the legal industry forward, and we're pleased to recognize their performance."
Bloomberg Law's 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.
