Perkins Coie Named the #1 Best Law Firm for Women and Diversity for 2023 by Seramount

CHICAGO (June 1, 2023)—Perkins Coie is pleased to announce that it has been ranked as the number one national law firm on Seramount's 2023 "Best Law Firms for Women and Diversity" list. This is the 15th straight year that Perkins Coie has been featured on Seramount's annual list, and the firm is one of just eight law firms nationwide to have received this recognition consistently since 2008.

Seramount is a national organization that works to advance diversity, equity, and inclusion in the workplace, including with leading corporations across multiple industries. It broadened its Best Law Firms list for 2023 to include a new focus on race and ethnicity for all genders from previously highlighting the best law firms for women with respect to recruitment, retention, and promotion opportunities.

"Improving diversity, equity, and inclusion is a key strategic goal for Perkins Coie and we were pleased to see the addition of other facets of diversity included in Seramount's survey this year," said Perkins Coie's Chief Diversity & Inclusion Officer Genhi Givings Bailey. "Perkins Coie is dedicated to nurturing a culture that supports diverse viewpoints, inclusive behaviors, and equitable opportunities for all our lawyers to succeed in service of our clients, the legal profession, and each other."

Perkins Coie has long been recognized for excellence in the legal industry and for its commitment to fostering diversity and inclusion. Diversity Lab has awarded Mansfield 5.0 Certification Plus to the firm and named Perkins Coie an Inclusion Blueprint Champion. The firm received the Minority Corporate Counsel Association's (MCCA) 2021 Thomas L. Sager Award for championing diversity in the workplace, and earned the Human Rights Campaign Foundation's top rating of 100% in the Corporate Equality Index, a national benchmarking survey on corporate policies and practices related to LGBTQ+ workplace equality, for 14 consecutive years.
