Katten has announced that the National Association for Female Executives named the firm as one of the 2020 NAFE Top Companies for Executive Women, a benchmark for the advancement of women in corporate America.
“Our presence on this list highlights Katten’s understanding of the benefits a diverse team brings. Through the outstanding work of our Women’s Leadership Forum and others, we aim to empower all of our attorneys and business professionals to reach their full potential through mentoring, various skills-building opportunities and other initiatives that better equip them for advancement,” said Chairman Roger P. Furey.
The list, featured in the April/May issue of Working Mother magazine, recognizes 70 US companies that have a strong focus on best practices that move women to senior ranks, including mentoring, sponsorship, involvement in employee-resource groups, and leadership-development training. The list also highlights company benefits and corporate cultures of accountability for gender-equity results, including the involvement of the CEO and top leaders in advancing women.
“We strive to provide our dynamic women attorneys with plenty of opportunities for career growth,” said Katten Chief Diversity Partner Leslie D. Minier. “We are proud of the inclusive culture we have created at Katten that attracts, develops and elevates talented female attorneys, and supports them in their efforts to achieve their goals.”
