Rubin and Rudman Celebrates Empowering Women Award
Rubin and Rudman is thrilled to share that it has, once again, received the esteemed Empowering Women Award from Massachusetts Lawyers Weekly. This recognition comes for the third consecutive year, shining a light on the law firm’s strong commitment to uplifting women attorneys and fostering an inclusive workplace.
Our Commitment to Women's Advancement
John J. McGivney, Managing Partner at Rubin and Rudman, expressed immense pride in the firm’s accomplishments, stating, "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." This sentiment reflects the firm’s dedication to recruiting, retaining, and advancing talented women attorneys, which has proven effectively in recent years.
Focus on Leadership and Professional Development
The firm’s Women's Initiative is pivotal in creating opportunities for female attorneys to develop both professionally and personally. They focus on increasing leadership roles within the firm and the broader community, enhancing collaboration among colleagues, and addressing issues that disproportionately impact women in legal professions. Notably, in the previous year, the firm launched a formal business development training program alongside a pilot coaching program aimed at empowering women within the firm.
Statistics That Reflect Progress
The commitment to gender equity within the firm is evident in its current composition, with women comprising 46% of all attorneys. Remarkably, 45% of practice group leaders, 43% of partners, and 29% of the Executive Committee are women, demonstrating significant strides in leadership representation.
Community Engagement and Support
Rubin and Rudman extends its support beyond the office, actively participating in initiatives benefiting women and girls in the local community. Recently, the firm joined The Wonderfund's 3rd Annual Period Party, a campaign dedicated to collecting feminine hygiene products. This essential initiative ensures that teenage girls associated with the Department of Children and Families have access to necessary hygiene items. Over 200 volunteers, including dedicated members of Rubin and Rudman, assembled more than 13,000 feminine hygiene kits.
