NEW YORK – July 24, 2024 – Global law firm Greenberg Traurig, LLP was honored with JPMorganChase’s (JPMC) 2024 Joan Guggenheimer Global Law Firm Diversity Award on June 26, 2024 at JPMC’s Global Legal Town Hall in New York. The award, named for former General Counsel of JPMorganChase Joan Guggenheimer, recognizes law firms that have made exceptional efforts and demonstrated their commitment to promoting and maintaining a culture of diversity and inclusion within their firms and in the legal profession.
Greenberg Traurig collaborates with JPMC and their ASSET Network Program, which was created as a mentoring and sponsorship initiative for high-performing attorneys of varied backgrounds with a focus on professional development and leadership training.
The ASSET Network Program comprises a working group and an advisory board. JPMC and law firm members, including Greenberg Traurig attorneys, make up the working group. These members develop and execute a project plan, select participants, and outline the process and success. The working group also identifies law firms to join the ASSET Network Program based on several factors, including geographical footprint, subject matter expertise, and inclusion efforts. Participating firms then nominate attorneys according to several criteria, including legal experience and leadership potential.
"We are incredibly honored to receive this award from JPMorganChase. This recognition affirms our longstanding commitment to fostering a diverse and inclusive workplace where all our attorneys and staff can thrive," Co-Chair of Greenberg Traurig’s Financial Services Litigation Practice Paul J. Ferak said.
