Celebrating Summit Law Group's Commitment to Inclusive Leadership

Summit Law Group proudly announces that our firm has achieved Mansfield Certification Plus for 2024–2025. To achieve Mansfield Certification, Summit implements a behavioral science and data-driven approach—designed by Diversity Lab in collaboration with talent experts, data scientists, and lawyers—to help increase diversity in leadership. 

"Summit continues to strive to be an inclusive workplace for all. We believe our inclusiveness translates to a better and more effective practice, benefiting both our Summit team and our clients from a variety of backgrounds across a wide range of industries," said Partner Evan Chinn, who serves as Summit's current DEI Officer.

Mansfield is a year-long, structured certification process commitment that ensures all qualified talent at our firm has a fair and equal opportunity to advance into leadership. This science-backed and data-driven inclusive sourcing process helps boost inclusivity, equal access, and transparency in advancement processes and leadership roles at participating organizations. Consistent, inclusive leadership opportunities also require measurable actions evaluated over time. To maintain its effectiveness, the certification standards continue to evolve year-over-year based on data-backed insights. 

Summit remains unwavering in our commitment to fairness, transparency, and equal opportunity. Our continued collaboration with partners like Diversity Lab puts our values into action. A US Federal Court recently affirmed that Mansfield aligns with anti-discrimination laws, reinforcing the legal integrity and strength of our work alongside other Mansfield Certified firms. Looking ahead, we're also pleased to confirm our renewed commitment to the 2025–2026 certification cycle, joining over 275 peer firms dedicated to a fairer, more transparent path to leadership in the law. The annual endeavor asks firms to recommit to the principles of transparency, accountability, and knowledge-sharing required through the certification process. Diversity Lab partners with all Mansfield firms to foster transparent and inclusive pathways to leadership in law.
