Connectivity and Community

The Women’s Initiative hosts a variety of events and programs centered on creating a sense of community among our lawyers, alumni and clients, including:

Coffees, Receptions and Socials – Across the Firm’s global offices, we hold coffee hours, receptions and socials to foster collegiality and celebrate our lawyers’ accomplishments. Favorite annual traditions include the “Holiday Toast” and a reception welcoming new summer associates. Examples of other social events include an evening at the ballet, a book event featuring an author discussion and a golf series.

Co-Chair Office Visits – Each year the Women’s Committee Co-Chairs and other NY-based partners visit offices outside of NY to gather feedback on Women’s Initiative programming and to foster a sense of community. These popular visits have become a cornerstone of the Women’s Initiatives and have led to new offerings that promote a greater sense of inclusion at the Firm, including our Partners Office Hours and Connections Discussion Group.
