Announcements

Greenblatt, Pierce, Funt & Flores partners Patricia V. Pierce and Julie A. Uebler joined the Legal Network for Gender Equity, a national task force of the National Women's Law Center as member attorneys.

The effort stems from the NWLC's desire to mobilize a nationwide network of attorneys willing to represent women and girls who have experienced harassment or other forms of sex discrimination at work, school or in health insurance or health care settings.

As attorneys in the Legal Network for Gender Equity, Pierce and Uebler will provide pro bono consultations to women referred by the NWLC.
