Hunton & Williams LLP Receives 100 Percent Rating in 2015 Corporate Equality Index

NEW YORK— November 21, 2014 — Hunton & Williams LLP received a perfect score in the recently released Human Rights Campaign Foundation’s annual “Corporate Equality Index.” The Foundation, which is the educational arm of America’s largest civil rights organization working for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) equality, rated 971 businesses in its 2015 report on policies and practices related to LGBT employees. Factors contributing to Hunton & Williams’ top rating are its inclusive nondiscrimination policies, firmwide diversity training, domestic partner benefits, LGBT affinity group, and contributions to related community organizations. This is the fourth year in a row that the firm has received a 100 percent rating and been designated as a Best Place to Work for LGBT Equality.

Hunton & Williams believes a diverse group of lawyers and staff allows the firm to better serve its clients, and maintains a vigorous Diversity Program to help attract a workforce representative of the firm’s global practice.
