Reed Smith has launched a new task force for attorneys and staff to focus on mental health issues, the firm announced Wednesday.
The new mental health task force is an initiative of LEADRS, a business inclusion group at Reed Smith for people with disabilities and part of the firm's broader diversity initiative.
Kimberly Gold, a partner in Reed Smith's New York office, co-founded the task force and will serve as its first chair. In an interview, she said the drive to start the group stemmed from personal experience and a desire to speak out.
