HCMP is proud to announce that it has achieved the highly respected Midsize Mansfield Certification, a testament to the firm's commitment to advancing diverse representation in law firm leadership. The certification, awarded by Diversity Lab, a leading research and consulting organization in legal diversity and inclusion, recognizes HCMP's pivotal role in promoting inclusivity in the legal community.

To attain initial Midsize Mansfield Certification, HCMP underwent a rigorous review process, ensuring its commitment to affirmatively considering people from historically underrepresented groups, including women, lawyers of color, LGBTQ+ lawyers, and lawyers with disabilities, for entry-level and lateral hiring, partnership promotions, significant firm leadership positions, and advancement opportunities. HCMP has further increased transparency in its leadership advancement criteria and processes as well.

Ryan Durkan, Managing Principal at HCMP, expressed her delight, stating, "Our Mansfield Certification underscores our firm's ongoing steadfast dedication to diversity and inclusion. It is a crucial demonstration of our formal commitment to considering diversity, equity, accessibility, and inclusion in our hiring, advancement, and promotion practices. We are continuing this journey by participating in the 2023-2024 Midsize Mansfield Rule cohort, which began on July 15, 2023."

HCMP's achievement highlights its proactive approach to addressing the underrepresentation of diverse lawyers in leadership roles within the legal industry. The firm's ongoing commitment to fostering an inclusive workplace helps ensure that all talented attorneys have equal opportunities to excel and contribute to the firm's success.
