Listen… the legal profession isn’t exactly hitting it out of the park when it comes to diversity. But some Biglaw firms are doing a  better job than others, and the ALM Diversity Scorecard measures that. The Diversity Scorecard tracks the average number of full-time-equivalent minority attorneys at Am Law 200 and National Law Journal 250 law firms in the calendar year 2018.

The firm that took top honors this year — Fragomen — is a newcomer to the top spot, pushing White & Case to #2 after five years at the top. Overall, 55 firms boast a minimum of 20 percent minority attorneys, which is an improvement over last year’s numbers which had 43 firms at that benchmark.

You can check out the full rankings, as well as a breakout of demographics, at Law.com. But in the meantime, here are the Top 25 firms on the Diversity Scorecard.
