Anne Ricchiuto, Faegre Drinker partner and co-chair of Faegre Drinker Women, spoke to The Indiana Lawyer about the rise of women in leadership positions at law firms and what Faegre Drinker is doing to help address the myriad of issues women in the legal profession face.
Ricchiuto highlighted the firm’s recent Working Mother “Best Law Firms for Women” recognition and Mansfield Plus Certification, explaining that Faegre Drinker actively tracks projects to ensure women and diverse lawyers are given opportunities to “work on significant matters with key clients.”
“That really is the ground-work for growth and leadership within a law firm,” she said.
In addition, Ricchiuto highlighted the fact that Faegre Drinker’s compensation committee is led by two women, which sets the firm apart.
