Allverse Conference
In 2023, we were proud to host our third Allverse DEI
conference, which brought together underrepresented
lawyers, firm leadership, and clients to discuss DEI issues
at the forefront of the legal profession. The 2023 theme
was “Uniting changemakers for collective action,” which
focused on empowering individuals to become forces for
change in their communities.
Interactional Bias Education Sessions
In 2023, we launched DEI training sessions across our
45+ offices globally to educate our partners, counsel,
associates, and business professionals on interactional
bias, which encompasses microaggressions and common
unintentional remarks or behaviors stemming from
stereotypes or assumptions.
International Summit for Development
and Human Rights
Our Mexico offices co-hosted the first International
Summit for Development and Human Rights with the
Secretariat of Equality and Inclusion of Nuevo León. The
summit featured over 45 panelists, including Nobel Peace
Prize laureate Malala Yousafzai, who discussed DEI, and
the rights of women and indigenous, disabled, and
LGBTQ+ communities.

For the fifth consecutive year, we achieved Mansfield
Certification Plus in the United States in recognition of our
efforts to increase representation of underrepresented
lawyers in law firm leadership. 2023 also marked our
second year of Mansfield Certification Plus recognition in
the United Kingdom, where we participated in the 2022
inaugural program pilot.
