 Signe's 5 Ways to Promote Women

  1. Approach the discussion from a financial perspective.
  2. Remind them that most issues that affect women usually affect male associates as well.
  3. Solidarity is powerful.
  4. It’s not enough to just talk.
  5. Get the men involved.


The Precedent Setter Awards recognize lawyers in their first 10 years of practice who have shown excellence and leadership in their practices and in their communities.
