White Plains, NY - Jackson Lewis is pleased to announce the firm is the recipient of the Westchester Women's Bar Association's 2006 Family Friendly Employer Award. As a national workplace law firm involved in counseling and drafting "family friendly" policies for employers, both large and small, we are proud of this accomplishment and recognition by this well-respected Bar Association.
In considering Jackson Lewis for this Award, the Westchester Women's Bar Association was impressed with our firm's commitment to our attorneys and staff in providing flexible and alternative work arrangements as a means to promote work/life balance. In addition, throughout our policies, Jackson Lewis recognizes that "family" encompasses domestic partners, as well as spouses. Further, the Bar Association recognized that our firm supports and encourages diversity through the utilization of part-time attorneys and by having a formal part-time partnership policy crediting attorneys for their part-time service with the firm.
Lewis Silverman, a senior partner in our White Plains office, accepted the Award on behalf of the firm at the Association's annual dinner in June 2006. White Plains partner Susan M. Corcoran is a long-time and active member of the Westchester Women's Bar Association and has helped guide the firm in its family friendly outreach to professional and support staff. Both may be contacted at (914) 328-0404.
