WASHINGTON, DC - For the third consecutive year, Finnegan, Henderson, Farabow, Garrett & Dunner, LLP, received the Gold Standard Certification from the Women in Law Empowerment Forum (WILEF), a designation for firms that have integrated women into top leadership positions and compensated them well.  Launched in 2011, the WILEF Gold Standard Certification initiative invites law firms with 200 or more attorneys to apply for the certification. Forty-two firms qualified for the award this year. WILEF’s initiative is unique in its mission to certify, publicly recognize, and broadly publicize law firms that have integrated women into the highest leadership positions. “This is a wonderful honor and recognition of Finnegan’s efforts to foster and reward women’s leadership,” said Finnegan Managing Partner Barbara McCurdy.
