Thompson Coburn again earned a perfect score of 100 points in the Human Rights Campaign’s 2012 Corporate Equality Index and Best Places to Work Survey. The survey is conducted by the Human Rights Campaign Foundation, which evaluates nearly 850 businesses across the country on their treatment of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender employees, consumers/clients, and investors.

Thompson Coburn was one of just 55 law firms nationwide that earned a perfect score this year.

The Best Places to Work Survey rates organizations on a 1-100 scale and examines the degree to which companies protect employees from employment discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity. It also evaluates how well they implement effective policies on diversity and inclusion, training, health care and domestic partnership benefits. Now in its tenth year, the survey this year underscored the importance of securing effective workplace policies for transgender employees.

Thompson Coburn's score of 100 in the survey underscores the firm’s commitment to a diverse and inclusive culture.
