The Axelrod Firm is thrilled to report that the American Bar Association Woman Advocate Committee (WAC) devoted its entire summer electronic newsletter to a series of five (5) articles written by a diverse team of National Association of Minority and Women Owned Law Firms (NAMWOLF) lawyers that includes The Axelrod Firm’s Jamie L. Augustinsky, Sheryl L. Axelrod, and Kevinn Souffrant along with fellow NAMWOLF lawyers Gerardo Alcazar, Kenneth M. Battle, Sandy Sakamoto, and Roberto Portillo Togno.  The ABA Business Law Section Diversity & Inclusion Committee jointly distributed the articles.  The theme of the series is, “Diversity: It Makes Teams Better, featuring a diverse team of writers from the National Association of Minority and Women Owned Law Firms (NAMWOLF) member law firms.”  If you are a member of the American Bar Association, you can view them online by clicking here.
