Through our practices and programs, from recruitment, development, and recognition to our Women's Networking and Mentoring Initiative, we provide an environment that fosters growth, leadership, and success for our female attorneys.
Recognizing that opportunities for advancement and collaboration have not always been equitable to women in business, Labaton Sucharow launched the Women's Networking and Mentoring Initiative in 2007. Since then, we have been host to dozens of exceptional guests, including senior executives from a wide array of commercial markets, as well as leaders in politics, law, and global not-for-profits.
Partner Carol C. Villegas serves as chair of the Firm's Women's Initiative.
Each year, the Women’s Initiative hosts an event featuring all-star panels that showcase some of the country’s leading women asset allocators and fund managers. The annual event is designed to foster discussion around the important topic of how institutional investors can invest in and build relationships with women and minority-led investment firms. Panelists address current trends, compelling reasons to include diverse managers in a portfolio, and ways to improve visibility for diverse managers.
This program has been shortlisted for “Best Gender Diversity Initiative ” by Euromoney. In addition, the Firm has been recognized as a finalist by Chambers & Partners for “Inclusive Firm of the Year” and by Euromoney as the “Best National Firm for Women in Business Law.”
Partner Carol C. Villegas serves as chair of the event.
