I was honored to be asked to participate in the Leadership Academy. Mentoring women attorneys and providing them with the tools they need to succeed is important to ensure their success.

Greenberg Traurig's Women's Initiative focuses on retaining and supporting women attorneys through professional development and work/life balance initiatives. The firm was recently acknowledged in published reports as being one of a few firms nationwide whose 2010 shareholder and of counsel class was 50 percent women attorneys. American Lawyer Media's research database corresponding to its 2009 Diversity Scorecard, shows Greenberg Traurig as having the most female partners among the AmLaw 200 firms.

The WILL conference is targeted at women attorneys who are focused on honing their business development skills. Bass's panel includes other distinguished women attorneys and the general counsel of Harley-Davidson, Inc.. The group will provide tips on how to achieve partnership at a law firm, how to make a successful transition from associate to partner, and how to provide better client service. The goals of this program will be to provide practical advice for associates looking to climb the ladder at their law firms.

Bass is based in the firm's Miami office. She currently serves as the firm's Global Operating Shareholder and on the firm's Executive Committee. Bass recently completed an eight-year term as the national chair of the 500-member litigation department.
