"Day Pitney has a long tradition of promoting and hiring women both in and into the partnership—with the Boston office women partners at 40+ percent of the partnership in the office. We realize that diversity, equity and inclusion is an ongoing and continual effort that must be nurtured and embraced from the inside, and both the Boston office and the firm overall are committed to that mission," commented Jaclyn O'Leary, partner and chair of the Day Pitney's Boston Business Development Committee.

"As part of Day Pitney's commitment to the success and retention of women at the firm, we established the firm's women's initiative called Women Working Together (WWT®) in 2000. Each year, WWT® provides mutual support, professional growth, and community service opportunities to women attorneys at the firm and to clients. WWT creates an atmosphere of camaraderie, enthusiasm, and laughter for women attorneys that enriches the law firm experience and provides opportunities to meet and network with our clients on a professional, yet personal, level," added Tara Pollard, Director of Diversity and Inclusion at Day Pitney.
