Thompson Coburn earned a perfect score of 100 points in the Human Rights Campaign’s 2009 Corporate Equality Index and Best Places to Work Survey. The survey is conducted by the Human Rights Campaign Foundation, which evaluates nearly 600 businesses across the country on their treatment of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender employees, consumers/clients, and investors.

The survey, which rates organizations on a 1-100 scale, examines the degree to which companies protect employees from employment discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity or expression by using policies on diversity and inclusion, training, health care and domestic partnership benefits.

Thompson Coburn score of 100 in the survey underscores the firm’s commitment to a diverse and inclusive culture. The survey was first conducted in 2002; Thompson Coburn was invited to participate for the first time in last year’s survey.
