Rubin Rudman is pleased to announce that the firm has received Massachusetts Lawyers Weekly’s Empowering Women Award for the third consecutive year. The award recognizes law firms that have shown a strong commitment to supporting and elevating women attorneys.

“It is an honor to once again receive this recognition. We are very proud of our firm’s efforts to build a culture where women feel valued and supported, and this award shows that our efforts to recruit, retain, and advance talented women attorneys is working,” said John J. McGivney, Managing Partner at Rubin Rudman.

Rubin Rudman’s Women’s Initiative is focused on identifying and supporting professional and business development opportunities for women attorneys; increasing leadership roles for women attorneys at the firm and in the industries and communities the firm serves; fostering connections, cross-selling and collaboration; and addressing issues that disproportionally affect women. This past year, the firm’s Women’s Working Group launched a formal business development training program and a one-year coaching program pilot.

Currently, 46% of all attorneys at Rubin Rudman are women, with women making up 45% of the firm’s practice group leaders, 43% of its partners, and 29% of the firm’s Executive Committee.

Rubin Rudman also supports several non-profits whose focus is on providing resources to women and girls in the Greater Boston area. Most recently, Rubin Rudman participated in The Wonderfund‘s 3rd Annual Period Party – a campaign to collect feminine hygiene products. This initiative ensures that the teen girls associated with the Massachusetts Department of Children and Families (DCF) have access to these essential items. More than 200 hundred women, including our team from Rubin Rudman, gathered to assemble more 13,000 feminine hygiene kits.
