Hunton Andrews Kurth LLP has been recognized among Houston’s Top Five Law Firms for Diversity by the National Diversity Council, a non-profit organization dedicated to being both a resource and an advocate for the value of diversity and inclusion.
The firm received the award on October 30, 2019, at the Marriot Marquis in Houston as part of Legal Diversity Week, during which the National Diversity Council brought together extraordinary leaders in the legal field to celebrate and advance diversity.
“Our lawyers are dedicated to Hunton Andrews Kurth’s longstanding commitment to diversity and inclusion,” said Emily Burkhardt Vicente, co-chair of the firm’s Diversity and Inclusion Committee. “We are honored by this recognition, which reinforces the firm’s pledge to diversity and inclusion by underscoring the ways in which these efforts have allowed our lawyers to better serve our clients.”
Tammy Brennig, managing partner of the firm’s Houston office, also received recognition from the National Diversity Council during Legal Diversity Week for her continued commitment to diversity in the legal arena. On October 29, 2019, Brenning was, once again, named one of the Council’s “Top 50 Women in Law.” This award honors women whose trailblazing has made it possible for others to more easily follow in their footsteps.
“The 2019 Top 50 Women Lawyers recognizes those that are changemakers working towards equity for all,” said Dennis Kennedy, Founder and Chair of the National Diversity Council. “We are proud of their leadership, excellence and commitment to creating pathways for all women’s success.”
