Blank Rome Named to Exelon’s 2020 D&I Honor Roll

Blank Rome LLP is pleased to announce that the Firm was named to Exelon’s 2020 D&I Honor Roll, which recognizes business partners for their work to include women and people of color in key roles on Exelon’s account teams as well as additional efforts that highlight the value of diversity, equity, and inclusion. Blank Rome is notably one of four law firms honored in this year’s select list of 34 companies.

“We are extremely proud to be recognized by our valued client Exelon in their annual D&I Honor Roll,” said Christopher A. Lewis, Partner and Chief Diversity and Inclusion Officer Emeritus at Blank Rome. “Throughout our longstanding relationship, Blank Rome has shared Exelon’s commitment to fostering a strong culture of diversity, equity, and inclusion in our workplaces, industries, and beyond.”

“This tremendous honor reaffirms our Firm’s commitment to offering innovative solutions to the complex needs of our clients through the diverse attributes and experiences of our attorneys,” continued Sophia Lee, Partner and Chief Diversity and Inclusion Officer at Blank Rome. “As a Firm, we look forward to strengthening our partnerships with our clients through jointly-hosted pro bono clinics and other diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives that create unique opportunities for learning and lasting change.” 

Blank Rome has achieved numerous recognitions in 2020 for our leadership in promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives in our workplace, including Working Mother’s Best Law Firms for Women, Yale Law Women’s Top Firms for Gender Equity & Family Friendliness Report, and Human Rights Campaign Foundation’s Best Place to Work for LGBTQ Equality. The Firm also notably achieved Mansfield Certification Plus after successfully completing Diversity Lab’s yearlong Mansfield Rule 3.0 program and has signed on to participate in Diversity Lab’s newest iteration of the program, Mansfield Rule 4.0, which will run through July 2021.
