ChIPs Network, a global community of more than 7,000 women involved in tech and IP law and policy, has named Morrison Foerster (“MoFo”) on its Honor Roll for 2024 in the category of gender inclusion.
This is the seventh presentation of the ChIPs Honor Roll, which is produced every other year in partnership with Diversity Lab. It is based on the outcome of Diversity Lab’s unique Inclusion Blueprint, which scores top law firms on demographics tracking, diversity representation, ongoing inclusion practices at the firm, and ongoing inclusion practices within practice groups. The Inclusion Blueprint also provides actions for law firms to take to ensure their lawyers have fair and equal access to compensation, leadership roles, and other critical career-enhancing opportunities.
MoFo was one of six, out of nearly 250 firms, recognized for gender inclusion that scored the highest in the gender categories on both the firmwide assessment and ChIPs IP practice assessment. “These firms demonstrated their hard work and commitment to tracking and taking action to ensure their talent practices at the firmwide and practice group levels are inclusive for all genders,” said Joan Toth, ChIPs executive director.
The award will be accepted by Bita Rahebi, who serves as co-chair of MoFo’s global IP Litigation Group, during the ChIPs Global Summit, October 16–18, 2024, in Washington, D.C.
