The firm remains committed to Mansfield’s goals, which aim to ensure that all qualified talent at law firms have a fair and equal opportunity to be considered for advancement into leadership roles.
The firm was also named a “Trendsetter” by Diversity Lab, underscoring its sustained efforts to promote leadership diversity in an increasingly competitive and transparent industry.
“Earning and maintaining Mansfield Certification is a critical step in addressing inequities in both our workplace and the broader legal profession,” said Noble F.

As part of the certification process, Hinckley Allen has embraced a structured approach to broadening its talent pool, making its advancement and leadership processes more transparent, and regularly contributing to knowledge-sharing efforts with peer firms.

It reflects our deep commitment to fostering an inclusive culture where all attorneys have an equal opportunity to lead and succeed,” said Patrick A. Rogers, Managing Partner at Hinckley Allen. “At the core of our success is the belief that diversity strengthens our ability to deliver exceptional legal services, and we remain dedicated to advancing these values for the long term.”
