According to Law360:
New York-based Pryor Cashman LLP has seen a substantial number of women get promoted in the early months of 2021, appointing three new co-chairs, two partners, three counsel and a new member of its executive committee to go along with an existing contingent of women leaders.
IP litigation partner and newly appointed executive committee member Ilene Farkas told Law360 Pulse that each attorney has earned their new position at the firm and that she's excited to see the large number of women being recognized for their hard work and accomplishments.
"First and foremost, the individuals that have been promoted have shown incredible dedication to the firm and are incredible lawyers whose promotions are very deserved irrespective of gender," she said. "It's great that more focus has been placed on the promotion of women and I think it's important for young female lawyers to see that with hard work and dedication, you can have a truly meaningful and challenging career."
