Lowenstein Sandler has been named to Bloomberg Law’s inaugural Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DEI) Framework, which recognizes firms 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 and inclusion in the community.
“Inclusivity has been an integral part of Lowenstein Sandler’s DNA since its inception,” says Gary M. Wingens, Chair and Managing Partner of the firm. “We are gratified to be recognized by Bloomberg Law in this capacity, as businesses and corporations are increasingly seeking legal service providers who reflect their values and commitments.”
Danielle Carr, the firm’s Director of Diversity, Equity & Inclusion, says: “At Lowenstein, we take an intentional approach to advancing the development, recruitment, retention, and promotion of underrepresented talent in the legal profession. We hope that Bloomberg Law’s launch of this new framework will encourage other organizations across our industry to similarly pursue metrics-based initiatives that sharpen their focus on inclusion through both external outreach and internal policies.”
Bloomberg Law’s DEI Framework was developed in collaboration with Bloomberg’s Gender-Equality Index team, as well as diversity leads at corporations and U.S.-based law firms. Performance was assessed across more than 85 metrics, each associated with one of the framework’s six core pillars. Going forward, the methodology and membership criteria will be reviewed and updated annually to ensure alignment with industry trends, methodologies, and best practices.
