Reed Smith continues its firm-wide Wellness Works initiative this year, marking February as "Arts for Wellness" month. Throughout the month, the firm's U.S. offices offered a wide range of programming to firm employees in an effort to promote the mental, emotional and physical benefits of art.

"Arts for Wellness" month is the brain-child of associate Aleksandra Phillips, who was a professional artist before becoming a lawyer. Phillips proposed the wellness theme to firm leadership based on her own experiences with the benefits of art in relieving and reducing stress.
