Long Island Business News Empowering Women 2023

Forchelli Deegan Terrana LLP has made a long-term commitment to substantially invest in our Women’s Initiative program. Empowering women, helping them excel and celebrating their achievements improves the overall success of our firm – a firm which ascribes to the philosophy that when one or more of us excel, all ships rise.

One meaningful measure of this success is the easily tracked, most tangible return on that investment – the firm’s ability to attract and retain not only highly-skilled female attorneys but male attorneys as well – and the matters which they, in turn, bring to the firm have a positive impact on the reputation and overall success of the firm.

Other successes that may not be as easily measured, but are visible and important to all who work here, involve the firm culture, which is one of inclusivity in all aspects. Elevating women has had a positive impact on the day-to-day work environment. All employees communicate cordially and respectfully and their voices are heard. Women improve the firm culture through their unique ideas.

With receptive management and leadership, we are able to capitalize on, and maximize, the leadership potential of our women and positively impact firm culture. As more women are empowered and have the opportunity to hold up a mirror to our organization, we collectively realize that, as we prioritize women, help them to recognize their strengths and give them a platform to voice their priorities, we continue to build a more inclusive workplace. We are committed to continue to support women so that the future of our firm shines even brighter!
