Marina Liacouras Phillips Partner
"Diversity is fundamental to Kaufman & Canoles for both our attorneys and our clients. When I first proposed a marketing initiative enabling women attorneys to network with existing and potential women clients, the Firm's response was immediate and enthusiastic. Our Executive Women's Forums provided an opportunity for the Firm's women attorneys to introduce their legal skills to the community, while forming bonds and supporting each other's success within the Firm. A "win-win" situation!"
