«NAMWOLF is excited to learn of the public commitments made by DuPont, Sara Lee, Shell Oil and Wal-Mart to strengthen their commitment to working with minority-owned law firms,» said Yolanda Coly, Associate Director of NAMWOLF. «Hopefully, other companies will join this effort to ensure that minority-owned law firms have a full and fair opportunity to compete for corporate work,» she added. «We are confident that NAMWOLF Law Firm Members are up to the challenge!»

The National Association of Minority & Women Owned Law Firms (www.namwolf.org) was founded in June 2001. It is a national trade association comprising a select group of minority and women-owned law firms who exhibit excellence in the legal profession. The primary aim of the organization is to advocate for the utilization of minority and women-owned law firms by major corporations and government entities throughout the United States.
