honors and recognitions Working Mother Names Crowell & Moring to 2019 List of Best Law Firms for Women Working Mother, in collaboration with the American Bar Association's ABA Journal, named Crowell & Moring as one of the "Best Law Firms for Women" for the eighth consecutive year. In making its selections, the publication considered firms’ policies on, and commitment to, advancing women lawyers and attention to work/life balance. The winning firms lead the industry in such initiatives as supporting flexible work arrangements and offering generous paid parental-leave policies.
Law360 Ranks Firm as #5 Best Law Firm for Minority Lawyers For the second consecutive year, Law360 named Crowell & Moring one of the "Best Law Firms for Minority Attorneys." The firm ranked fifth among U.S. law firms with 300 to 599 lawyers for the racial and ethnic diversity of its lawyers. Rankings appeared in the publication’s 2019 Diversity Snapshot. More than 300 law firms participated in the Law360 survey, which split firms into various categories based on size. The criteria for recognition included: (1) total minority lawyers; (2) minority non-partners; (3) total minority partners; and (4) minority equity partners.
Firm Scores 100 Percent on Human Rights Campaign’s Corporate Equality Index Crowell & Moring earned a 100 percent score on the Human Rights Campaign Foundation’s Corporate Equality Index for the ninth consecutive year. The CEI national benchmarking survey rates many of the nation’s most successful companies, including The American Lawyer magazine’s top 200 revenue-grossing law firms, based on their corporate policies and practices related to LGBTQ+ equality. The firm’s perfect score places it on HRC’s list of "Best Places to Work for LGBTQ Equality." The CEI rating criteria have three key pillars: (1) non-discrimination policies across business entities; (2) equitable benefits for LGBTQ+ workers and their families; and (3) supporting an inclusive culture and corporate social responsibility. For the first time, in 2019, a 100 percent rating required ensuring full spousal and partner health-care coverage parity; affirming coverage for transition-related care and eliminating all so-called transgender exclusions from plans; and ensuring full LGBTQ+ inclusion in diverse supply chain programs. Calling the 2019 survey “the most comprehensive assessment of workplace LGBTQ inclusion in the 17-year history of the report,” HRC President Chad Griffin noted that, “The top-scoring companies on this year’s CEI are not only establishing policies that affirm and include employees here in the United States, they are applying these policies to their global operations and impacting millions of people beyond our shores.”
