Booz Allen achieves Mansfield Rule certification

Booz Allen Hamilton announced that it has achieved Mansfield Rule Certification after completing the two year-long Mansfield Rule: Legal Department Edition 2.0 program. This certification establishes the firm’s commitment to considering diverse candidate pools in its legal department. Booz Allen’s is one of only 41 legal departments to become MRLD 2.0 certified this year. Companies that achieve this certification have affirmatively considered women, LGBTQ+, lawyers with disabilities, and racial/ethnic minority lawyers – at least 50 percent of the candidate pool – for the legal department’s top roles and for outside counsel representation. "This Mansfield Rule Certification affirms Booz Allen’s longstanding commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion. It is our goal to recruit, retain and advance the next generation of legal leaders that will bring new innovation and insight to our business and our clients," said Nancy Laben, Chief Legal Officer at Booz Allen Hamilton
