Biglaw firms are finally starting to put their money where their mouth is when it comes to diversity and inclusion. At least two firms Dorsey & Whitney in 2019 and Hogan Lovells in 2021 have announced that approved diversity and inclusion-related work will be billable for attorneys and will count toward bonus thresholds. Now, another leading law firm has stepped forward to announce that
all timekeepers, not just lawyers, will be able to receive billable-hours credit for their diversity work. The firm is the first to offer a program like this.
Reed Smith, a firm that came in at #26 in the latest Am Law 100 rankings, announced this new policy earlier this week. Under this new protocol, all timekeepers at the firm will be able to allocate up to 50 hours of work and activities related to its Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion program (DE&I), its Women Initiative Network program (WINRS), and its Racial Equity Action Plan (REAP) as billable time.
