Andrews Myers’ commitment to its female attorneys goes well beyond the recruitment phase. Women hold significant leadership positions in the firm, serving as shareholders, department leads, practice group mentors and recruitment committee chairs.

We recognize that some of the challenges facing women attorneys and women in business can be multi-faceted and dynamic, and that some of these issues can be a source of strength. The Women’s Initiative at Andrews Myers is focused on maximizing skills unique to women, and building and maintaining the expertise women need for elevating their careers, successfully developing sources of new business, and navigating growth of their practice.

Womens initiative

Our Objectives

Our objectives include recruiting, retention, training, mentoring, and development:

Identification of leadership and speaking opportunities

Presentation of in-house skills workshops for our attorneys, sharing our knowledge base and collaborating across practice groups

Client functions to socialize, network, and learn

Quarterly meetings to examine our progress, mentor each other and enjoy lunch together

We are also committed to put some of our time into community outreach and are actively working to identify a charitable partner.

"The Women’s Initiative actively supports and encourages women attorneys, through mentoring and other programs, to connect and build professional relationships across offices and practices within the firm, and externally with clients and other professionals.

The building of these important social networks provides a solid foundation for career growth and opportunity."
