The Center for Legal Inclusiveness (CLI) has named both WilmerHale and Partner Nora Passamaneck finalists for its annual [email protected] Award. This award honors individuals and organizations that have taken concrete steps to advance diversity in their workplaces and community. The firm previously received the award in 2021.

Founded in 2007, CLI is a Denver-based nonprofit that aims to advance diversity in the legal profession in part by recognizing and supporting individuals and organizations that actively promote inclusive practices. WilmerHale is committed to fostering a diverse, equitable and inclusive environment both at the firm and in the legal profession at large. Similarly, Passamaneck, who chairs the firm’s Western Region Diversity Committee, is a champion for diversity and inclusion both at WilmerHale and the Denver legal community. Beyond her efforts internally at WilmerHale, Passamaneck spearheads WilmerHale’s participation in The Colorado Pledge to Diversity and is both a “Law School Yes We Can” mentor and a Denver University Law mentor.

The firm, Passamaneck and other finalists will be recognized at CLI’s annual gala, The Ball for All, on February 25 at the Infinity Park Event Center in Denver.
