Thompson Coburn releases 2022 Diversity & Inclusion Report

Thompson Coburn has released the Firm’s 2022 Diversity & Inclusion Report, which details all of our diversity, equity and inclusion efforts throughout the previous year. The 55-page document covers our outreach to diverse law students, updates from our affinity groups, information about our firmwide mental health and well-being resources, and much more.

In 2022, our Firm continued our commitment to cultivate our D&I efforts and recognition through new and ongoing initiatives:

• We achieved Mansfield Rule 5.0 “Certified Plus” status and signed on to participate in the Mansfield 6.0 Certification process to expand diversity and equity in Big Law.
• We received high-level Firm recognition from the Diversity & Flexibility Alliance, Law360, WILEF, and Bloomberg Law’s Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion (DEI) Framework.
• We celebrated the incredible legacy of our past Diversity Committee Chair Tony Anderson.
• We awarded Thomas F. Eagleton Scholarships to two diverse and very deserving law students.
• We continued to hold bias awareness workshops and training sessions for all new attorneys, paralegals, and staff in our offices across the United States.

We share our annual diversity report with our clients, colleagues and the legal industry at-large to share our resources and experience and encourage other organizations to pursue innovative D&I strategies and create a more inclusive workforce for all. Please contact Norma Jackson, Chief Diversity & Attorney Development Officer, if you have any questions.
