Our Culture & Our Investment


Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Committee

Established in 1995, our committee of dedicated attorneys meets regularly to innovate and implement programs in a manner that reflects our deep commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion.
 

Firm Leadership

It takes committed leaders to make diversity a true priority. Over half of our practice and industry team leaders are women or minorities. Our leaders make diversity a regular topic of discussion for our Board of Directors, and our Director of Professional Development and Diversity regularly presents to the Board on the firm's diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts.
 

Educational Opportunities

We sponsor firm-wide learning experiences that connect the entire firm to build inclusivity. Recent topics include the science of implicit bias, multi-generational differences, respect in the workplace, and gender expression and identity.
 

Women's Initiative

We invest in a variety of initiatives and programs to promote the success of our talented women lawyers. From mentoring to professional and business development programs, we are constantly looking for innovative ways to support the success of our talented women attorneys.
 

Parent Support

Becoming a parent is a huge milestone in life. We provide support to all of our new parents to help them transition to the world of working parent. To that end, we provide a generous bonding leave package and a customized coaching program to new parent attorneys. We work with each individual to ensure their schedule, practice, and long-term career plans are supported.
 

Leadership Council for Legal Diversity

We are proud to be a member of the Leadership Council on Legal Diversity (LCLD). This high-profile national organization, composed of managing partners of major law firms and general counsel of public and private companies, is the national leader working to diversify the U.S. legal profession for now and future generations. We participate in four of LCLD’s initiatives. Two initiatives are focused on law students: Our attorneys serve as mentors in the LCLD Success Mentoring Program for first-year law students and our first-year Summer Associates participate in LCLD’s Scholars Program. The second set of initiatives are focused on current attorneys. Each year, we sponsor one of our attorneys for LCLD’s Fellows Program and another for the LCLD Pathfinders Program. These programs share the goal of producing a diverse generation of up-and-coming attorneys with strong leadership and relationship skills who are committed to fostering diversity within their individual institutions and the profession at large. We have been recognized by LCLD as a “Top Performer,” identifying Lane Powell as being one of LCLD's most active members who supports its mission in many ways.
 

Mansfield Rule 4.0

We are proud to have received Certification Plus status in Diversity Lab's Mansfield Rule 4.0 Certification Program, which aims to increase the representation of diverse lawyers in leadership roles at law firms by broadening the pool of candidates considered for such opportunities. We are continuing our participation in the program by taking part in the Mansfield Rule 5.0 Certification Program, as well.

Named for the first woman admitted to the practice of law in the U.S., the Mansfield Rule measures whether law firms have affirmatively considered at least 30% women, attorneys of color, LGBTQ+, and lawyers with disabilities for leadership and governance roles, equity partner promotions, formal client pitch opportunities, and senior lateral positions. Firms are eligible for certification annually if they achieve the Rule's requirements.

Before proceeding, please note:  If you are not a current client of Lane Powell PC, please do not include any information in this email that you or someone else considers to be confidential or secret in nature.  Prior to the establishment of a lawyer-client relationship, unsolicited emails from non-clients containing confidential or secret information cannot be protected from disclosure.
