Buchanan Ingersoll & Rooney Named to Bloomberg Law’s Third Annual Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Framework

PITTSBURGH, PA (July 24, 2023) – Buchanan Ingersoll & Rooney is pleased to announce that it has been named to Bloomberg Law’s third annual Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) Framework for the second consecutive year.

The DEI Framework assesses law firms based on their level of disclosure of diversity-related metrics and distinguished performance against six core pillars: demographics, leadership and talent pipeline, recruitment and retention, business innovation and strategy, marketing and diversity & inclusion in the community. Buchanan is one of 55 U.S.-based law firms that achieved this recognition.

“DEI remains a critical factor for general counsel seeking to engage law firms that reflect their values, and we’ve brought our industry expertise and strength in data analytics to bear in assessing how law firms are performing in this critical arena,” said Joe Breda, president, Bloomberg Law.

“At Buchanan, we have been deliberate in ensuring that diversity and inclusion is a priority in all aspects of our business,” said Lloyd Freeman, Chief Diversity & Inclusion Officer. “Being named a Bloomberg Law DEI Framework Member Firm validates the impact of our efforts and motivates us to continue being a leader in law firm diversity,” he added.

This recognition comes on the heels of Buchanan being named the 2023 Law Firm Champion of Women Award Winner by the Miami-Dade Chapter of the Florida Association for Women Lawyers and being Shortlisted for the Chambers USA Diversity and Inclusion – Outstanding Firm Award.
