McGuireWoods LLP’s Post

This month, we're thrilled to mark an important milestone—the two year anniversary of the DeAngelus Goralczyk Buffalo office! We're eager to continue to live out our mission in the Western New York community, which is a client-centered approach to transactional law.  Our clients are at the heart and center of what we do - each and every day.

Law is often seen as an industry that's inaccessible for people from certain backgrounds. We believe the legal industry should represent the diversity found in the outside world - and that in this way, fairness and justice should not be limited to the courtroom. As a result, social mobility is a key theme in our recruiting, and we are always looking to find ways to improve and learn from other organisations getting it right. Tracy Foley, our Head of People & Culture, and Jessica H., our Diversity & Inclusion Manager attended the House of Commons on 27 February 2024 to do exactly that. The event coincided with the launch of Breaking Down Barriers to Law: Phase 1 report - which brings together key players from the legal sector to address social mobility challenges in the sector. Find out more about the event, as well as comment from Tracy, Jessica, and Rt. Hon Justine Greening below. #SocialMobility #WalkerMorris #ForgeYourOwnPath

Philadelphia's legal market is sending some mixed signals: Large national law firms are expanding in, and firms with homegrown roots are expanding outward. What's going on in the local market? Well, we're still feeling the after-effects of the pandemic, for a start. Read the deeper analysis here:

I enjoyed discussing #lawfirmmergerstrategy with Amanda O'Brien as part of her reporting on recent large firm combinations. Law firm #strategicplanning has been very active this year, and the growth imperative is alive and well. What your firm's strategy entails can vary widely based on client needs and, in particular, the business climate and growth opportunities in your current geographic markets. How is your firm planning its #growthstrategy for 2025 and beyond?
