Cooley Receives 2013 WILEF Gold Standard Certification
New York – June 19, 2013 – Cooley LLP announced today that the Women in Law Empowerment Forum (WILEF) has recognized the firm, for the second consecutive year, with its 2013 Gold Standard Certification.
WILEF Certification emphasizes the leadership roles achieved by female equity law partners. To receive Gold Standard Certification, a firm must demonstrate that "women represent a meaningful percentage of their equity partners, of their highest leadership positions, of their governance and compensation committees, and of their most highly compensated partners." Cooley was one of only 42 firms to receive this distinction from WILEF in 2013.
"It's an honor to receive the Gold Standard award for the second consecutive year," said Shira Nadich Levin, a partner in Cooley's New York office and chair of the firm's Women's Initiative. "Cooley is dedicated to maintaining a diverse workplace, and this recognition is an affirmation of the values that Cooley prioritizes."
