These law firms got a perfect score on LGBT issues from the Corporate Equality Index
Ninety-five law firms got a perfect score this year on the Corporate Equality Index developed by the Human Rights Campaign.
That’s an increase from 87 law firms that got perfect scores last year, report the Am Law Daily (sub. req.) and a press release. The survey (PDF), which garnered responses from 156 law firms, evaluated policies on lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender employees.
Law firms outpaced other surveyed industries for the high number of perfect scores.
The survey added new requirements for a perfect score this year, the Am Law Daily points out. Now, outside contractors have to follow the law firms’ nondiscrimination policies, and law firms can’t donate money to nonreligious organizations that discriminate against LGBT people.
