April 20, 2014 (New York) – Proskauer has been honored in the “Gender Equity” category by the Yale Law Women’s 2015 Top Ten Family Friendly Firms Survey. Proskauer was recognized for having women lawyers comprise at least 50 percent of its 2014 partner promotions in its U.S. domestic offices.

Yale Law Women surveys top law firms annually on family friendliness indicators such as the billable hour requirement, part-time and flex-time options, parental leave policies and childcare, and how those policies are utilized, to determine the firms that are committed to the retention and advancement of women. Yale Law Women is a student-run organization working to advance the status of women at Yale Law School and in the legal profession at large.

Recently, Proskauer was named a 2014 Gold Standard by the Women in Law Empowerment Forum and was recognized for its diversity by the New York Law Journal’s 2015 Diversity Initiative Project, in part due to the firm’s Women Sponsorship Program, which matches prominent partners with high-achieving female associates to increase the retention and professional success of such women.
