WASHINGTON — September 22, 2016 — Hunton & Williams LLP has been named one of the 2016 Best Workplaces for Women by global research and consulting firm Great Place to Work® and Fortune magazine. Based on anonymous feedback from women in Great Place to Work-Certified organizations, the list highlights the 100 workplaces that received the highest rankings in areas such as internal communication, professional development and work/life balance.
