The Leopold Solutions Law Firm Index recognized Rivkin Radler for increasing the firm’s diversity by promoting female leadership from within.
According to an article describing the firms that made the leaderboard, “Rivkin Radler had the most significant increase in women partners year-over-year, jumping from 23.9% to 30.2%.”
Firm representatives said Rivkin Radler consistently works to increase the representation and retention of diverse employees.
Open positions are shared with regional affinity groups such as the Korean American Lawyers Association of Greater New York, Amistad Long Island Black Bar Association, Long Island Hispanic Bar Association, and others.
In addition, to identify candidates, the firm hosts summer interns who are members of these affinity groups. The firm has also made a conscious effort to recruit diverse candidates from the district attorney’s offices in the region.
“I am delighted by this recognition because we have devoted much of our efforts toward increasing diversity within our firm,” said Tracey McIntyre, Rivkin Radler’s director of legal talent. “The increase in women partners is a reflection of how supported and welcome they feel.”
