Top 5 Biglaw Firm Raises the Bar On Billable Diversity & Inclusion Hours
“Recognizing the importance of diversity and inclusion in the legal profession, Biglaw firms have started to implement strategies to improve how their workforces operate when it comes to moving toward achieving equity,” writes Staci Zaretsky in Above the Law’s Biglaw.
“We’ve previously acknowledged Dorsey & Whitney, Hogan Lovells, Reed Smith, and Cooley as firms where approved diversity and inclusion-related work will be billable for attorneys and will count toward bonus thresholds. We’ve just received word that yet another leading law firm has had a successful program like this that’s been quietly running since summer 2020 — and this firm is offering the highest number of billable diversity and inclusion hours we’ve heard of yet.”
