Faegre Drinker Named Winner of The American Lawyer’s ‘Corporate Culture & Wellbeing’ Award

Faegre Drinker was selected as the winner of The American Lawyer’s inaugural “Corporate Culture and Wellbeing” award at the American Lawyer Industry Award Gala on Nov. 13, 2024, in New York City. The American Lawyer Industry Awards annually recognize outstanding achievements and contributions made by law firms and the publication notes that award recipients often set benchmarks for others in the industry to follow and contribute significantly to the advancement of the legal profession.

“At Faegre Drinker, we recognize that to attract top talent, we must support both professional success and personal well-being,” said Faegre Drinker Chair Gina Kastel. “We strive to create a rewarding professional environment where our colleagues can progress in their careers and thrive.”

Faegre Drinker stood out for its gold-standard well-being program designed to simplify access to mental health support, normalize conversations around physical and mental well-being and demonstrate leadership support for wellbeing. Faegre Drinker has engaged a licensed clinical social worker to streamline access to mental wellness education and confidential support for firm personnel. 

The firm’s investment in mental health and well-being have directly garnered the attention of firm clients. At a recent industry conference, an in-house attorney commented, “You take care of the brains of the people at Faegre Drinker? Then I want to work with Faegre Drinker. That just makes sense.”
