DLA Piper named one of “50 Best Law Firms for Women” by Seramount

DLA Piper is pleased to announce that it has once again been named one of “50 Best Law Firms for Women” by Seramount, a strategic professional services and research firm dedicated to advancing diversity and inclusion in the workplace. DLA Piper has achieved this recognition more than 10 times since the list’s inception in 2007, earning the firm a place in Seramount’s Hall of Fame.

For the eleventh year, DLA Piper was recognized for its success in hiring, retaining and promoting women; its commitment to providing flexible work arrangements; and its initiatives that enhance the advancement of women in law.

“Supporting women and diverse talent in the workplace is central to our firm’s culture, and we are honored to be named one of Seramount’s best law firms for women,” said Jackie Park, DLA Piper’s co-US managing partner. “We are honored to receive this recognition, and we will continue to cultivate an environment that is open, inclusive and diverse.”

Additionally, in the past year, DLA Piper received Gold Standard Certification from the Women in Law Empowerment Forum (WILEF) for the ninth year. To qualify for Gold Standard Certification, law firms with 300 or more practicing lawyers in the United States must demonstrate that women are represented in a significant percentage of the equity partnership and the highest leadership positions. The program also focuses on the extent to which women have been promoted to equity partnership, integrated into the firm's governance structure and recognized as major contributors through upper-tier compensation, as well as the level of meaningful diversity amongst women equity partners.
