Klinedinst PC earns 2024–2025 Mansfield Certification, reaffirming its commitment to diversity, equity, and leadership opportunities in the legal field.
SAN DIEGO, CA – With the 2024–2025 Mansfield Certification now in hand, Klinedinst PC reaffirms its commitment to advancing diversity, transparency, and opportunity across all levels of leadership.
The Mansfield Certification is awarded to law firms that meet rigorous, data-driven benchmarks ensuring that qualified attorneys from historically underrepresented groups, including women, attorneys of color, LGBTQ+ attorneys, and attorneys with disabilities, are actively considered for leadership roles, senior lateral hiring, client pitch teams, and other key advancement opportunities.
Since joining the program, Klinedinst has taken deliberate steps to broaden access, strengthen advancement processes, and ensure that the firm’s leadership pipeline reflects the diverse talent within the legal profession. These initiatives include systematic reviews of hiring and promotion practices, along with proactive measures to create more opportunities for talented attorneys at every stage of their careers.
“The Mansfield Certification is an honor, and a reflection of the dedication Klinedinst has put forth to ensure our attorneys and staff are provided with opportunities for professional growth, no matter their sex, race, religious beliefs, or sexual orientation.,” says Teresa M. Beck, Co-Chair of the firm’s DEIB Committee.
The Mansfield framework recently received additional validation when a U.S. Federal Court ruled that the program aligns with anti-discrimination laws. This ruling affirms the integrity and lawfulness of the program’s approach, reinforcing that fostering diversity and ensuring equal opportunity is both ethical and legally sound.
The Mansfield process, powered by Diversity Lab, is grounded in measurable actions designed to expand, rather than limit, the pool of qualified candidates for leadership and client-facing roles. By encouraging a broader view of talent pipelines, the program helps law firms make more inclusive and transparent leadership decisions.
Klinedinst thanks Diversity Lab for providing a collaborative platform to advance equity in the legal profession and looks forward to continuing participation in the program in the years ahead.
