There has been a small increase in the percentage of African Americans who are partners over the same period, up from 1.71 per cent in 2009 to 1.77 per cent today. The percentage of associates from minorities also has risen - from 19.53 per cent to 22 per cent.
Distressing trend
NALP executive director James Leipold said: '2015 marks the sixth year of decline in the representation of black associates, and while the percentage decrease is small, the overall number itself was small to begin with, so any decline is significant, and the trend is distressing.' Source: NALP
