At MWH, we do not need a Chief Diversity Officer or Diversity Committee to demonstrate our commitment to diversity and inclusion because it is in our DNA. The makeup of our firm mirrors the diversity of the communities we come from and the clients we serve. As a result, MWH clients receive the creative and innovative solutions they deserve from attorneys who understand the pressures they face.
The female perspective I bring to my workplace investigations is especially valuable when handling sex discrimination and sexual harassment complaints for my clients. It ensures we’re evaluating each case from everyone’s perspective. ~ Julie Bittner, Equity Partner
Creating and Advancing Minorities and Women Through NAMWOLF
As companies increasingly demand more female and diverse attorneys to represent them on matters, data suggests this has done little to diversify the legal profession as a whole. In 2001, realizing something else had to be done, MWH Equity Partner, Emery Harlan, helped create the National Association of Minority and Women Owned Law Firms (NAMWOLF).
NAMWOLF’s goal is to empower minority and women-owned law firms by “… developing strategic alliances, coalitions and affiliations with corporations, in-house counsel and other legal trade associations.” MWH attorneys are proud to continue our support NAMWOLF, its mission and its talented and passionate members.
Leveling the Playing Field Through Leadership Roles
Additionally, MWH attorneys have elevated the profile of the firm and our diverse and minority members through leadership roles with industry organizations, including the:
- Minority In House Counsel Association
- State Bar of Wisconsin Diversity Counsel Program
- Commercial Law Section of the National Bar Association
