Blank Rome was founded 75 years ago as a result of ethnic exclusion from large firms. Since then, the firm continues its founders’ longstanding mission and commitment to fostering an environment of diversity and inclusion through progressive firm-wide initiatives, including collaborating with its clients to promote the success of women and minority leaders across different industries. The firm has developed programs designed to provide valuable networking,
educational, and mentoring opportunities, including its Annual Women’s Leadership Summit, Women Who Lead Initiative, a Women’s Forum, and a Women's Business Development Academy. 

In 2020, Working Mother magazine named Blank Rome one of the “Best Law Firms for Women” for the fourth time for promoting family-friendly policies and initiatives aimed at advancing women attorneys. Yale Law Women’s “Top Firms for Gender Equity & Family Friendliness Report” has also recognized Blank Rome as a Top Firm for Promotion Practices for three years in a row.
