The law firm of Moritt Hock & Hamroff has been recognized as one of Long Island Business News' Inaugural 2023 Empowering Women Honorees for its commitment to the growth and advancement of women, cultivation of diverse and inclusive communities and fostering of social responsibility.

"This is a special honor and distinction for MHH.  In its steadfast commitment to the growth and advancement of women, MHH continues to be deliberate and proactive in the steps it has taken to date to ensure that women are not just supported, but thrive both within the firm and in the legal industry at large," said Julia Gavrilov, Partner and Chair of the firm's Women’s Initiative program: MHH WINS – Women’s Initiative for Navigating Success. "MHH’s female attorneys serve as department heads, chairs of various initiatives, in management of the firm, mentors to junior mentees (both within the firm and externally), members of numerous boards and committees and as speakers on esteemed panels (just to name a few).  MHH’s efforts also extend beyond the firm, through its philanthropic and community endeavors to nurture future professionals and empower women nationwide by, among other things, educating other companies on the importance of hiring, retaining and promoting women, all of which continue to further distinguish MHH from its peers."   

Only 26 companies across Long Island earned this extraordinary distinction. The Long Island-based organizations pro¬ led in this inaugural program have a proven track record of recruiting, hiring and promoting women in their organization; elevating women to c-suite positions; creating innovative programs or mentorship avenues for female employees; providing scholarship assistance; and contributing to advancing women’s causes through philanthropic or community endeavors.
