Laura Maechtlen was quoted in an August 29 story from Law360, "3 Law Firms With Their Own Riff On The Mansfield Rule," on the firm's Rooney Presumption which first piloted in 2015 in its labor and employment practice group. Maechtlen said that one of the biggest ways implementing the rule allowed the firm to increase the number of diverse associates hired is that it pushed the firm to look harder and be more creative about finding diverse candidates, rather than using the same recruiting avenues BigLaw firms traditionally use.
