21 for the 21st Century

There are many law firms out there doing some amazing 21st Century things.

Michigan Lawyers Weekly and the Women Lawyers Association of Michigan have selected 21 of them for special recognition.

What are these firms up to? They're offering long-term retention programs for associates that encourage growth within the law firm. They have flex-time programs that recognize the importance of work/life balance without compromising momentum for the partnership track. Their offices are technology-driven, allowing associates and partners to work as efficiently outside the building as inside. And, they recruit the cream of the crop from Michigan law schools and encourage them to stay and practice law in Michigan.

On Sept. 10, 2008 at The Birmingham Community House, these 21 firms and their managing partners will be welcomed into the Century Club.

One special firm will be crowned the 2008 21st Century Innovator.
