Katten has been recognized by North Carolina Lawyers Weekly for the firm's commitment to empowering women. The publication noted the ways that Katten celebrates our female professionals and elevates them into leadership roles, with at least 25 percent of our female attorneys serving on the executive committee or as office managing partners, practice group leaders or department heads. Additionally, 25.4 percent of the firm's partners are women, showcasing our dedication to bolstering gender diversity in leadership.
Katten attributes its successful empowerment of female professionals to several special programs that are designed to support career advancement, leadership and mentorship, including the Women's Leadership Forum for attorneys, which features a national mentoring panel, the Women's Inclusion Network for business professionals and the Kattalyst Sponsorship Program. These initiatives provide unique training, resources and community-building opportunities to support the retention and advancement of women at every stage of their careers within the firm.
