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:

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

Alumnae Reception – A reception recognizing the contributions our alumnae have made to the Firm and the broader legal community. The event also serves as a networking opportunity for our current lawyers, as well as our alumnae.

Client Events – The Women’s Committee collaborates with Business Development to promote our women and support our clients. Examples of client events include a Women in Private Equity Reception and a curated art tour of MoMA followed by dinner at The Modern.
