March 12, 2024 — Seyfarth Shaw LLP, a leading law firm known for its innovative approach and client-focused services, today announced the creation of its first Impact & Sustainability Partner position, underscoring its commitment to aligning business goals with client values and demands.
The firm has appointed seasoned partner Ameena Majid to this founding role, which will help the firm and its clients navigate and drive business goals centered around the increasingly regulated environmental, social, and governance (ESG) landscape.
The new position is strategically designed to evolve and integrate sustainable and ethical responsible business practices across the firm. This initiative sets a new standard for client service in the industry, demonstrating Seyfarth’s leadership in aligning legal services as client priorities and demands evolve.
“This step is a testament to our forward-thinking ethos and dedication to being at the forefront of legal innovation,” said Lorie Almon, Seyfarth’s chair and managing partner. “With Ameena at the helm of this new role, we are poised to further connect our business strategies with what truly matters most to our clients, ensuring that we go beyond being their advisors by partnering to create a positive impact.”
Majid brings a wealth of experience to the role, having previously excelled in positioning client objectives with sustainable and profitable business practices at Seyfarth. “I am thrilled to step into this role and partner with Lorie on taking a strategic focus to how we create impact in our work,” Majid said. “This position represents a significant opportunity for our firm to lead the way in client-centric innovation. We are not just adapting to a changing business paradigm; we are actively shaping a more sustainable and impactful future for our clients, team, and communities.”
A top priority for Majid in the coming months will be engaging with various firm stakeholders encompassing a cross-section of attorneys and staff at all levels, offices, and departments, creating an openness for ideas, opportunities, and action through targeted initiatives.
This strategic appointment is part of Seyfarth’s broader initiative to integrate impact and sustainability principles into its service offerings and internal operations.
