Eversheds Sutherland is joining the growing movement of large law firms that are allowing attorneys to capture billing credit for work they do on diversity, equity and inclusion efforts.

Eversheds announced Wednesday it will provide up to 50 hours of billable credit per year for qualifying DEI work for all U.S.-based attorneys. The trans-Atlantic firm appears to be one of the first large firms with Atlanta roots to announce such credit. However, the policy has increasingly gained steam in Big Law nationally, with Morrison Foerster, K&L Gates, Fox Rothschild and Stoel Rives announcing DEI credit in recent months.
