This chart ranks the percentage of asian partners and associates at Manhattan law offices.
An asterisk indicates that the firm did not provide this information. We treated missing data as if it were zero.
The chart includes all firms with 100 attorneys in their Manhattan office. See
How We Did This for more on our ranking process.
Firms are graded on a curve. We divide the firms into quintiles, and then assign letter grades based on
this division. We combined the grades with those from other diversity rankings to create a
diversity report card of firms' overall minority employment rates. Note that firms with zero representation in any demographic category receive an "F"
regardless of quintile.
Bold denotes the top 20 most prestigious law firms in Manhattan, according to vault's 2009 regional rankings
Firms highlighted in pink laid off a number of attorneys equivalent to 15% or more of their U.S. non-partner lawyers after February 1, 2009.
