Sara Mandelbaum, a former staff attorney at the American Civil Liberties Union and Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison, joined Akerman this week as the Am Law 100 firm’s first hire from the OnRamp Fellowship, a program that seeks to bring women back into the Big Law workforce.
“Akerman’s participation in the OnRamp Fellowship program is an opportunity to help pioneer a re-entry model for experienced women lawyers and empower them to advance in their careers,” said a statement by Carol Faber, chair of Akerman’s women’s initiative network. “The program also provides Akerman greater access to an untapped group of incredible talent and sends a powerful message to women lawyers that there are many pathways to success.”
