Global law firm K&L Gates LLP, which has Pacific Northwest offices in Portland and Seattle, has been honored as a top achiever in advancement of diversity within the legal profession by Microsoft‘s Law Firm Diversity Program (LFDP).

A Microsoft Premier Provider Program law firm, K&L Gates was recognized as one of the program’s top performers for its work to increase diversity among the firm’s partnership and leadership, among Microsoft’s relationship partners and on Microsoft work matters.

Microsoft’s LFDP was introduced in 2008 to increase diversity within major law firms and teams working with the company. Microsoft raised the bar in 2015 to increase diversity among the partner and leadership ranks of law firms within its premier provider network, with the company recognizing and financially rewarding firms that demonstrate improvement in any of Microsoft’s three focus areas. K&L Gates has participated since the program was introduced.

This wasn’t K&L Gates first honor this year for supporting diversity and inclusion. In July, it was named one of the country’s top 10 family friendly firms by Yale Law Women. The firm’s efforts to promote diversity and inclusion in the legal industry also were recognized in September by longtime client Lockheed Martin.
