International law firm McDermott Will & Emery is pleased to announce that it has been shortlisted in three categories as part of the Financial Times Innovative Lawyers Awards North America. The recognitions include Most Innovative Law Firm in North America: Business of Law; Most Innovative Law Firm Leader: Ira Coleman; and Innovation in People and Skills: Career Services Program.
Under Chairman Ira Coleman’s leadership, McDermott has embraced a strategic direction focused on being indispensable to clients, enhancing performance and nurturing a happy, fun culture. With an #AlwaysBetter mentality, the Firm has experienced strong growth—outperforming the industry average across all key metrics—expanding across practices and geographies and recruiting top talent.

Underscoring McDermott’s commitment to offering its employees an exceptional work experience and to prioritizing personal growth through professional development, the Career Services Program was designed to provide our lawyers, lawyer-alumni and select friends of the Firm with information and resources to fuel professional success and happiness.
