Honigman enjoys 4 years as state’s ‘Best Law Firm for Women’
For the fourth year, Honigman Miller Schwartz and Cohn LLP is the only Michigan law firm to be named one of the 50 Best Law Firms for Women by Working Mother magazine and Flex-Time Lawyers. Honigman earned this recognition in 2008, 2009 and 2011 as well (there was no list in 2010).
Recognition is based on law firms’ family-friendly policies and focused initiatives that help retain and advance women attorneys. Honigman will be featured in the December/January issue of the Working Mother magazine, and on workingmother.com and flextimelawyers.com.
Honigman’s family friendly practices and innovative professional development initiatives have received numerous accolades. The firm earned statewide recognition as a Top Workplace in Michigan from the Detroit Free Press in November 2011. Honigman was ranked sixth on the list, which included such other large employers in the state as Lear, Thomson Reuters, FedEx and Johnson Controls and was the only law firm honored in this category.
The firm also earned accolades from the Michigan Business & Professional Association for being one of the “101 Best and Brightest Companies to Work For” in both the Metropolitan Detroit (2010, 2011 and 2012) and West Michigan regions (2011 and 2012). These awards are based either in whole or in part on employee and attorney interviews and survey responses.
