The firm's San Francisco office recently agreed to support Upwardly Global, an award - wining nonprofit organization that helps foreign - born professionals re-enter their careers in the U.S., and the Women In Law Empowerment Forum, a national organization aimed at
educating women in law firms on how to become leaders in the workplace and in the community by building, exercising and implementing a strong sense of empowerment.
First,

educate themselves that despite what they fervently wish to believe, progression
in most organizations including
law firms requires more than well developed legal skills and hitting your billable targets.
