NEW YORK, June 30, 2020 – Proskauer has been recognized by the New York Law Journal’s 2020 Innovation Awards which honor “creative and inspiring approaches and forward-thinking firms.”

The Firm receives this recognition after launching our first-in-kind program Proskauer Prep last year. Championing the next generation of women lawyers, Proskauer Prep welcomed a group of incoming 1L students to the Firm’s New York office in 2019 for a week-long course before their first year of law school. The program delivered practical insights, mentorship, relationship building, and a glimpse at Big Law practice. Benefits included a guaranteed OCI call back.

Proskauer Prep has also been recognized by the Financial Times North America Innovative Lawyers awards for “Innovation in the Business of Law: Diversity and Inclusion.”

Honorees for the New York Law Journal’s 2020 Innovation Awards will be recognized in the publication’s upcoming Professional Excellence magazine and honored at the New York Legal Awards ceremony on October 27 at Marriott Marquis in New York City.
