FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: May 14, 2009
Patrick and Paul Farber Named Corporate Diversity Partners
of Litigation Counsel of America
New York, NY--Patrick and Paul Farber, structured settlement brokers with Ringler Associates, have been named the first corporate diversity partners with the Litigation Counsel of America (LCA).
The LCA is an invitation-only trial lawyer honorary society established in 2005 to reflect the new face of the American bar. Membership is limited to 3,500 Fellows, representing less than one-half of one percent of American lawyers. The LCA is aggressively inclusive embracing all demographics within law, including race, sex, orientation, age and national origin.
Corporate Diversity Partners provide support services and technologies to the LCA''s networking gatherings, conferences, scholarship programs and award presentations. Diversity Partners share the LCA''s belief that diversity in the legal profession enhances and advances the litigation process, the pursuit and administration of justice and the rule of law.
"Without the commitment from partners like Pat and Paul and their willingness to step forward to champion LCA efforts, we would be limited in our outreach and recognition programs for women and minorities," says G. Steven Henry, Executive Director and General Counsel of LCA. "We hope others who see diversity as a critical component in the practice of law will follow their lead."
“We are honored to have Patrick and Paul Farber as Corporate Diversity Partners,” says Patrick E. Stockalper, partner in the Manhattan Beach, Calif. law firm of Reback, McAndrews, Kjar, Warford & Stockalper, LLP and president of the LCA. Stockalper added, “The strength of the LCA is premised not only on its superb attorney membership, but also on the commitment of its partners.”
Henry notes that although the country has seen substantial growth among women, minorities, cultures and orientations within the bar, recognizing these members for their legal excellence has not kept pace. "The LCA is intent on fostering mutual respect among and across each segment of the legal profession, and to make the future even brighter than the past," says Henry. "The LCA''s goal is to create voices of advocacy that are heard without bias and without predisposition."
Ringler Associates is the world''s oldest and largest settlement annuity firm. Brothers Patrick and Paul Farber, with offices in Southern California, work with attorneys from around the county in creating structured settlements for medical malpractice, personal injury, product liability, workers'' compensation, mass torts and construction defect cases as well as for non-physical injury cases.
"We''ve been working with attorneys and their clients for more than 25 years and see firsthand the tremendous value that diverse legal representations bring to the negotiating process," says Patrick Farber. "The LCA''s inclusive efforts are just what the legal bar needs."
