May 29, 2015

WASHINGTON, DC, May 29, 2015 — Law360 ranked Covington eighth on its list of “Top 25 Best Law Firms For Black Attorneys.” The list highlights firms that have significantly more black attorneys than the industry average, particularly at the partner level.

According to the publication, the firms in the top 25 average 6.6 percent black non-partners and 4.4 percent black partners, well above the overall averages of firms that submitted data for the 2015 Law360 Minority Report. The average U.S. firm has just 3.5 percent black non-partners and 1.6 percent black partners, according to the survey data.
 
"While there is much progress still to be made, these results are a reflection of Covington's sustained efforts for many years to recruit, mentor, develop, and promote lawyers of color," said Michael Imbroscio, the firm’s chair of diversity initiatives. "We are immensely proud of the inclusive environment we are working to create at Covington."
