TOP LAW FIRMS FOR EQUALITY | 2018 Since 2002, the Human Rights Campaign Foundation’s Corporate Equality Index (CEI) has surveyed major businesses to benchmark important employer benefits and protections for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) employees and their families as well as demonstrated corporate commitment to LGBTQ equality. Law firms have been surveyed as part of the CEI since 2006. This year, 160 law firms, including a majority of American Lawyer 200 firms, participated in the CEI. Of these firms, 127 received a perfect 100- percent score, establishing law firms as the most represented industry among participants receiving a perfect score. Another 16 firms scored above 90. The HRC Foundation not only tracks law firms’ progress, but also actively works with diversity managers and partnership committees, as well as with LGBTQ attorneys, to implement inclusive policies at the nation’s most prestigious firms. The CEI rates law firms on 40 specific policies and practicites. To achieve a perfect score and the coveted distinction of “Best Places to Work for LGBTQ Equality,” firms must have fully- inclusive equal employment opportunity policies, provide equal employment benefits, demonstrate organizational LGBTQ competency, evidence their commitment to equality publicly and implement internal guidelines prohibiting philanthropic giving to organizations that discriminate against LGBTQ people. The 2018 Corporate Equality Index rated a total of 947 private employers in various industries. The full report is available at www.hrc.org/cei.
