Congratulations to the 360+ firms that earned 2023–2024 Mansfield Certification! As other industries backtrack or remain quiet, a record number of newly Mansfield Certified law firms continue to proudly advance inclusive practices and report measurable progress. As Mansfield’s Certification criteria becomes more challenging each year, the program itself continues to grow. This year’s cohort saw a 13% increase from the nearly 320 firms certified the previous year. By participating in Diversity Lab’s year-long structured certification process, these Mansfield Certified US, Canadian, and UK firms are ensuring that all of their qualified talent has a fair and equal opportunity to be considered for advancement into leadership. The Mansfield framework requires that these firms commit to greater transparency and accountability regarding advancement opportunities, producing striking results. Over 75% of the firms have significantly increased diversity in client pitch teams, lateral partner hires, and equity partner promotions. And the number of women equity partners at Mansfield Certified firms is growing at nearly three times the rate of non-Mansfield firms. Stephen Zubiago, the CEO and Managing Partner at Nixon Peabody LLP, has expressed his appreciation for Mansfield: “Our firm has participated in Mansfield Rule Certification since its inception, and we have made significant strides over the past seven years to create positive change through our internal initiatives and industry partnerships. At Nixon Peabody, we believe that diversity of people, backgrounds, and experience leads to exceptional client service and stronger results for our clients and our firm. We are proud of the progress we have made, and remain committed to our continued efforts to build a more diverse, equitable, and inclusive legal profession." These Mansfield firms have taken measurable steps to promote inclusion in their leadership processes. Even in the face of headwinds, they are committed to creating inclusive and equitable workplaces.

We were proud to represent Israel-based Cognyte Software Ltd. in securing the dismissal of a putative securities fraud class action. The plaintiff alleged Cognyte and its senior executives misled the public about its customers and its compliance with local laws and its code of ethics. The Southern District of New York held that none of the alleged misstatements were actionable, Cognyte’s CEO did not act with scienter and the plaintiff failed to adequately allege that any purported losses were caused by the alleged misstatements. Scott Musoff led the Skadden team. #securities #litigation #classactions #law
