Saxe Doernberger & Vita, P.C. Achieves Mansfield Rule Certification!
Trumbull, Connecticut, May 25, 2023– Saxe Doernberger & Vita, P.C. is honored and proud to announce that we have achieved Mansfield Rule Certification! SDV is one of 70 mid-sized law firms across the nation that have completed a rigorous 18-month collaboration with Diversity Lab to track, measure, and achieve diversity in the legal field.
Mansfield Rule Certification recognizes the structural changes and actions the firm has taken over the past year and a half to diversify hiring and firm leadership. In practice, this means that whenever SDV makes a decision regarding attorney hiring or who to appoint or elect to leadership roles, we proactively consider a broad slate of talent including candidates who are historically underrepresented in the legal field. As evidenced by achieving Mansfield Rule certification, SDV has made it a priority to ensure that our processes for hiring and advancement at the firm are transparent and accessible.
This was a firm-wide effort, but special thanks go out to Rachel Pearson and to SDV’s Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Committee for their hard work and dedication to the goals of the Mansfield Rule. “In following the Mansfield Rule, there is a template and path forward for continued growth in all the areas of diversity, equity, and inclusion. Institutionalizing the Mansfield principals at SDV has made us a better firm at every level,” says Kerianne Kane Luckett, Chair of SDV’s Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Committee.
