Chairman's Letter

Hello Friends,

March is Women’s History Month and also the month to celebrate International Women’s Day. BoyarMiller joins the community in celebrating women in business.

Over the last few years, women have made sizable gains in business leadership. C-suite representation is up a reported 65% from 2015, according to McKinsey’s Women in the Workplace 2023 report. The McKinsey report found that women in business are more ambitious than before the pandemic—and flexibility is fueling that ambition. As for the legal sector, last year 50.3% of U.S. associates were women, according to the National Association of Law Placement.

Yet there’s more work to be done. While the percentage of women in managerial positions in the U.S. is rising, they are still underrepresented when compared to men who hold the same roles, the McKinsey report illustrates.

Women have always been a big part of BoyarMiller’s growth and success. That’s why we celebrate and support them with 5 to 9: A Women’s Initiative. The program was designed to attract, retain and develop female professionals at the firm and empower and promote women professionals in the community through networking events of interest to women. As a part of this initiative, this month the BoyarMiller women hosted a shopping event for employees, clients and colleagues at edit by Elaine Turner. The event featured shopping, networking, as well as fashion and business commentary by Elaine Turner.

Plus, this month our female ranks are growing. We are excited to welcome a new paralegal to our probate litigation team – Sandra H. Lesley. Welcome, Sandy!

At BoyarMiller, we are dedicated to exceeding your expectations by providing strategic legal guidance. Let us know if there’s anything we can do to help – we’re here for you.
