IRVINE, CALIF., August 1, 2023 – Knobbe Martens is pleased to announce that it has once again been ranked among the top five most diverse midsize law firms in Law360’s annual Diversity Snapshot. The firm also ranked fourth among midsize firms for representation of minorities among equity partners. Knobbe Martens was one of only seven midsize firms with a positive overall diversity score in this year’s survey, placing among the top five highest Diversity Pipeline scores – a ranking of a firm’s success in recruiting and retaining partners and associates of color, measured against industry benchmarks.
The Law360 Diversity Snapshot is an annual survey of law firm diversity data, ranking firms according to the percentage of attorneys of color at various levels of the organization.
Commenting on the results, Knobbe Martens managing partner Steven Nataupsky said, “We are proud of our commitment to sustaining a diverse workforce and an inclusive environment at every level of our firm. These results speak to our efforts to build a culture where all are valued and supported.”
Most recently, the firm announced that it is accepting applications for its 2024 2L Diversity Scholarship Program, open to second-year law students belonging to groups historically underrepresented in the legal profession. More information on the program can be found here.
