February 22, 2016
FordHarrison LLP, one of the country’s largest management-side labor and employment law firms, announces that the firm is the 2016 recipient of AT&T’s Legal Department Diversity and Inclusion award for medium law firms. AT&T annually selects one firm from the small, medium and large-size categories to receive this honor. This award highlights firms making the greatest strides and progress toward the goal of diversity and inclusion in the legal profession.
Jennifer Jones, senior associate in FordHarrison’s Dallas office, accepted the award on behalf of the firm at the AT&T Legal Conference in Dallas, TX on February 3, 2016. AT&T noted that FordHarrison’s Lateral Attorney Recruitment Incentive Program is unique among law firms and was one of the reasons for the firm’s selection.
