“Thompson Hine has long demonstrated a deep commitment to advancing diversity, equity and inclusion, both within and outside of our firm and in our profession. We continue to focus on building and supporting a firm culture where we value each other’s differences and recognize that we are richer because of them, we treat each other with fairness and respect, and we invite each other’s participation and unique contributions,” said Deborah Z. Read, Thompson Hine’s managing partner. “Thompson Hine is sharply focused on driving innovation forward. We recognize that an environment prioritizing diversity, equity and inclusion intensifies our creative abilities. Having a team of individuals from different backgrounds who bring a wide variety of perspectives to the table fuels our innovation and pushes us in new directions.”

Bloomberg Law’s DEI Framework was developed in 2021 in collaboration with Bloomberg’s Gender-Equality Index team, as well as diversity leads at corporations and U.S.-based law firms. Performance was assessed across more than 85 metrics, each associated with one of the framework’s six core pillars.

Among the key findings of the 2022 report:
