Alliance for Mental Illness
As Co-Chairs of the firm’s Diversity Committee, it gives us great pleasure to share
our recent accomplishments relating to community activities, diversity programs and
pro bono achievements. Indeed, in the past few months, our efforts have been recognized
in the legal and business communities through surveys such as Top Law Firms for
Women and awards from such organizations as Legal Services for New York City.
As you may know, throughout the past year, the Diversity, Women’s Initiatives and
Pro Bono Committees have implemented several new communication and
development programs to build on the firm’s long-standing commitment to diversity
and community service. Some examples include the Diversity Speaker Series, women’s
luncheons with high-level female executives throughout many industries, minority
recruiting outreach through mock interview events and internal diversity training
sessions.
We look forward to expanding our existing programs to ensure that all of our attorneys
and staff have adequate opportunities to engage in various programs of personal
interest to them. We continue to believe that embracing diversity and the community
in which we live allows us to make more informed decisions that will have farreaching and lasting benefits for everyone our firm touches: our employees, our
families and our clients.

Diversity Speaker Series: The Celebration Continues
Kramer Levin views diversity as one of our core values and
recognizes that promoting diversity must be a continuous
process. As part of that process, the importance of diversity
is communicated as often as possible. Over the past several
months, Kramer Levin hosted a number of events at the
firm in an effort to provide information and insight related
to a specific heritage, race or cultural background:
Asian Pacific American Heritage Month
In May our firm honored Asian Pacific American Heritage
Month with guest speaker Peter Kwong. Mr. Kwong,
noted author and Professor of Asian American Studies
and Urban Affairs and Planning at Hunter College,
engaged in a discussion entitled “Half the Glass Ceiling.”
In his thought-provoking talk, he presented the Asian
American experience in regard to society and status. Mr.
Kwong explained how stereotypes impact people and
provided insight as to how any diverse group can work
together and create a more supportive society.
LGBT Pride Month
In June in honor of LGBT
Pride Month, the firm hosted
Evan Wolfson, founder and
Executive Director of Freedom
to Marry. Mr. Wolfson energized the group with a recap
of the progress made to date
in achieving equal marriage
rights for same sex couples. He
Evan Wolfson
also encouraged everyone to continue working for full
equality and not to view the interim step of civil unions as
the last measure of success.
Diverse Attorney Luncheon
Kramer Levin also celebrated the varied differences
among our attorneys by hosting a Diverse Attorney
Luncheon in July. More than 35 attorneys, including
summer associates, attended an informal lunch at Bann,
a Korean restaurant. ■
New York Cares 13th Annual Hands on New York Day!
Spring cleaning was taken to a new level by a team of
Kramer Levin employees who volunteered for New York Cares
13th annual Hands on New York Day on Saturday, April
21, 2007.
Our volunteers included Ernestine Brower, Hai Deep,
team leader Tatiana Gonzalez, Sweta Goswami, Vaughn
Hayes and Iris Ramirez along with their families and
friends. Joined by over 3,500 participants in 89 sites
throughout the five boroughs, volunteers helped clean,
paint and revamp our city’s public spaces, which included
parks, gardens, playgrounds, community centers, homeless
shelters and schools.
Team Kramer Levin was assigned to revitalizing Edgecombe
Garden and Sugar Hill Park in Manhattan on Edgecombe
Avenue and 150th Street. The fun-filled day started off
with a welcome from our New York Cares Team Captain,
Sharon Katz. Sharon introduced the Kramer Levin team
to both sites which were in very poor condition. She
assigned productive projects for each team member which
included raking, painting benches, planting daffodils,
replacing chicken wire and clearing out debris and litter.
Kramer Levin Naftalis & Frankel LLP
After a few short hours, the park and garden were
transformed into a pleasant environment ready for summer.
Team Kramer Levin ended its day with a feeling of
overwhelming pride and accomplishment. This wonderful
program will enable New York’s children and adults alike
to enjoy healthier, finer and safer public spaces throughout
the five boroughs.
Thanks to all the volunteers for their amazing efforts in
making Hands on New York Day a rewarding and productive
day of great fun and great work. All our team members played
an incredible role in the project’s success. ■
Diversity & Community Service Mosaics
Outreach to Minority Student Organizations
Mock Interview Program. In July Kramer Levin
conducted the “2007 NYC Minority Mock Interview
Program.” This program, made available to minority
students from Brooklyn Law School, Columbia Law
School, Fordham Law School and New York University
School of Law, allowed minority students the opportunity
to practice their interviewing skills while receiving valuable
feedback on the interview and their resumes in time for
the fall interview season.
Panel Discussions. In August the firm sponsored a panel
discussion on “Preparing for the Interview” for the Fordham
Black Law Student Association. Attorneys Leslie Nguyen
and Aaron Fleisher, and summer associates Katrina Baker,
Jason Rappaport and Dannie Cho provided insight and
guidance to students on best practices involving resumé
compilation and interviewing techniques. ■
Kramer Levin Among Firms Honored For Representing
Guantánamo Bay Detainees
The National Legal Aid & Defender Association (NLADA)
presented its 2007 Beacon of Justice Award to Kramer
Levin along with more than 50 other law firms from across
the nation that have provided pro bono legal assistance
to detainees at Guantánamo Bay. In honoring these firms,
NLADA noted that “the uncompromising stance taken
by these law firms to provide representation to individuals,
despite public criticism, demonstrates an unwavering belief
and commitment to fairness and equality under the law
for all persons accused of a crime.”

Michael Sternhell, a member of the Kramer Levin team
representing seven current and former Guantánamo
detainees, accepted the award on behalf of the firm at
NLADA’s Exemplar Awards Dinner in Washington, D.C.
The dinner is an annual event held by NLADA to honor
those lawyers who work to improve the quality of
representation for people unable to pay for legal assistance
and to salute outstanding individuals who set an example
in that regard by their extraordinary dedication,
achievement, leadership and vision. ■

Kramer Levin Helps Reverse State Policy on Recognition of
Valid Marriages of Same-Sex Couples
Hernandez plaintiffs, from left: Curtis Woolbright and Daniel Reyes;
Douglas Robinson, Michael Elsasser, and sons Zachary and Justin; Donna
Freeman-Tweed, Lauren Abrams, and sons Micah and Elijah; Mary Jo
Kennedy, Jo-Ann Shain, and daughter Aliya; and Daniel Hernandez and
Nevin Cohen.
The New York State Department of Civil Service (DCS)
has reversed its policy denying recognition to the marriages
of same-sex couples entered into in other jurisdictions,
directing that such marriages be respected for purposes of
providing insurance coverage to public employees covered
by the New York State Health Insurance Plan (NYSHIP).
The change in policy affects employees of more than 800
public employers across the State. The prior policy was
challenged in a suit brought by Lambda Legal Defense
and Education Fund and Kramer Levin on behalf of a
retired Nassau County schoolteacher who married his
partner of 43 years in Canada but was denied the spousal
health insurance benefits to which he was entitled. The
school district and DCS took this position even though
the state Attorney General, Comptroller and other public
officials and private entities throughout the state had
recognized New York’s long-standing legal rule that a
marriage valid in the jurisdiction where it was celebrated
should be respected in New York. Ignoring this rule, a
Nassau County Supreme Court Justice rejected the
challenge in July 2006, but that decision remains on appeal.
The change in policy, in part in reaction to the suit, follows
the election of Governor Eliot Spitzer, who as attorney
general had agreed with plaintiff ’s position and declined
to defend the DCS policy. Governor Spitzer simultaneously
introduced a bill to provide full civil marriage equality for
same-sex couples in New York, which would reverse the
exclusion upheld last year in Hernandez v. Robles, another
case brought by Lambda Legal and Kramer Levin. Partners
Jeffrey S. Trachtman and Norman C. Simon, and associates
Jennifer Haber, Darren Cohen, Aaron Fleisher and Adina
Levine are currently working with Lambda Legal on its
marriage equality matters in New York. ■
Women’s Initiatives
Increasing the recruitment,
retention and advancement
of talented women attorneys is an ongoing goal of
the firm. To that end, the
Women’s Initiative Committee implemented several new programs during the past
year, designed to expand networking and business
development opportunities for women, facilitate a sense of
community among women attorneys and ensure that the
views and concerns of women attorneys at all levels are
considered by the partnership. These programs include:
■
Small group lunches (25 to date) with prominent women
in law and business, including a United States District Judge,
General Counsels of major corporations and foundations,
principals of investment companies, independent
entrepreneurs and a Wall Street Journal reporter;
Kramer Levin Naftalis & Frankel LLP
■
Lunches outside the office hosted by individual Kramer
Levin women partners for small groups of women
associates and special counsel;
■
Seminars and panel discussions for all attorneys on worklife balance issues, including a firm-wide presentation
by Deborah Epstein Henry, founder of FlexTime Lawyers
LLC, titled “Work/life Balance in a 24/7 World”; and
■
Formation of a Women’s Initiative Advisory Committee,
consisting of associates and special counsel representing
a broad range of departments and class years, to advise
and collaborate with the Women’s Initiative Committee.
The firm also continued its tradition of having firm-wide
lunches for its women attorneys, including one with this
year’s summer associates. ■

Kramer Levin Receives Perfect Score from Human Rights
Campaign in List of Best Companies for GLBT Equality
One of Only Four New York City Based Law Firms
Demonstrating the firm’s continuing commitment to
diversity, Kramer Levin earned a perfect score in the
Human Rights Campaign’s (HRC) sixth annual report,
the “Corporate Equality Index.” The HRC, which is the
nation’s largest gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender
(GLBT) rights organization, uses the Corporate Equality
Index as a tool to rate American businesses on how they treat
GLBT employees, consumers and investors. Kramer Levin
is one of only four New York City law firms and one of
27 law firms nationwide to receive the HRC’s 100 percent
perfect rating.
“We take great pride in this top score,” said Paul Pearlman,
Kramer Levin’s managing partner. “Kramer Levin has
always believed in the value of diversity in the workplace
and that discrimination of any kind, including on the
basis of sexual orientation and gender identity, has no
place in our firm.”
In addition to providing generous benefits to its employees
without regard to sexual orientation or gender identity,
Kramer Levin has played a leading role in pro bono GLBT
rights litigation for over a decade. The firm served as cocounsel with Lambda Legal in Hernandez v. Robles, which
sought equal marriage rights for same-sex couples under New
York law, and is currently litigating several cases involving
respect in New York for marriages of same-sex couples
entered into in other jurisdictions. Kramer Levin also
submitted amicus briefs Boy Scouts v. Dale and Lawrence
v. Texas, two landmark GLBT cases before the United
States Supreme Court; litigated the case that established
second parent adoption rights under Delaware law; and
obtained asylum for GLBT people fleeing persecution in
their homelands and seeking refuge in the United States.
“I am proud to be part of a firm that recognizes the
importance of equitable policies in the workplace and
remains dedicated to cultivating a diverse and inclusive
environment,” said openly gay litigation partner Norman
C. Simon. “Kramer Levin’s extensive GLBT work speaks
volumes about the firm’s true commitment to equality.”
The 2007 HRC Corporate Equality Index ratings were
based on several questions that assess whether companies
have a written non-discrimination policy covering sexual
orientation; support transgender employees with written
non-discrimination policies and benefits; offer inclusive
health insurance, bereavement and family leave policies to
employees with same-sex partners; offer diversity training;
have GLBT employee groups; engage in appropriate and
respectful advertising to the GLBT community; contribute
to GLBT community organizations; and decline to engage
in any activities that would undermine the goal of equal
rights for GLBT people. ■
Sponsors for Educational Opportunity (SEO) Program
This past summer, Kramer Levin
supported the Sponsors for Educational Opportunity (SEO) Corporate
Law program by hosting intern
Brittlynn Hall. The SEO Program is
the nation’s premier summer
internship for talented students of
Brittlynn Hall
color and is featured in Princeton
Review’s 109 Best Internships in America. Kramer Levin’s
intern, Ms. Hall, was an outstanding student from the
University of Alabama–Birmingham and is attending the
University of Michigan Law School this fall. During her
time here, Brittlynn worked with many of our attorneys on
several projects in various departments.
In addition to sponsoring an intern, the firm also participated
in a Breakfast Reception Series to apprise all SEO Corporate
Law interns about the life in a law firm. Kramer Levin hosted
a discussion focusing on the St. Basil pro bono case handled
by Kramer Levin litigation partner Gregory Horowitz,
programs and initiatives conducted by the New York City
Bar’s Office of Diversity, and insight from Kramer Levin
partner and Co-Chair of the Diversity Committee,
Christopher Auguste. ■

Kramer Levin Named One of the Nation’s Best Law Firms for
Women by Working Mother and Flex Time Lawyers
NEW YORK, August 15, 2007 — Working Mother
magazine and Flex-Time Lawyers LLC have named Kramer
Levin Naftalis & Frankel LLP one of the top 50 law firms
for women in the nation, and one of ten firms based in
New York City. The honor recognizes programs the firm
has undertaken to help women strike a better work/life
balance while maintaining the same opportunities to rise
to partnership. Such programs have included flexible
schedules and many women’s initiatives that incorporate
networking, education and leadership components.
“Kramer Levin is very proud of its exemplary women
lawyers and is committed to helping them become leaders
in the legal community,” said Paul Pearlman, Kramer
Levin’s managing partner. “We are honored to receive this
recognition and will continue our efforts to develop some
of the legal community’s most innovative programs for
women lawyers.”
Kramer Levin elected its first woman to the partnership
in 1975, seven years after the firm opened its doors in
1968, and has remained committed to providing its women
attorneys with the opportunity, education and support to
develop successful practices and become leaders both inside
and outside of the firm. Women lawyers have continued
to play a significant role in the firm including partners
Susan Penry-Williams as Co-Chair of the Financial Services
Department, Charlotte Fischman as the firm’s General
Counsel, Kerri Ann Law as Co-Chair of the Hiring
Committee and Jennifer Rochon as Chair of the Women’s
Initiatives Committee. In addition, many women partners,
special counsel and associates serve on various committees
within the firm.
The firm recognizes the importance of work-life balance
by offering generous leave policies, back-up child-care,
and flexible part-time schedules. Since 2005, about 25%
of the firm’s newly elected partners have been women,
including two women working part-time schedules who
continue to do so, and one woman who was on maternity
leave when promoted. The firm also has established popular
Kramer Levin Naftalis & Frankel LLP
programs for women lawyers through which they can
attend networking lunches with successful women in the
business and legal community, training sessions on topics
of interest, and social events with women clients.
“As the firm’s first female partner, I am pleased to see the
firm continue to cultivate an environment that supports
both personal, professional and philanthropic priorities
that women have in their lives,” said partner Charlotte
Fischman. “The firm has supported my career progression
and development within the firm as well as outside the
firm as I serve as Special Counsel to the Disciplinary
Committee for the First Department, a consulting member
of the New York Community Trust and President and
Chairman of the Board of the National Alliance for the
Mentally Ill of New York City.”
Working Mother magazine and Flex-Time Lawyers, a
national consulting firm advising attorneys and legal
employers on work-life balance and the retention and
advancement of women, announced their first-ever list of
Best Law Firms for Women on August 14. To win this
recognition, Kramer Levin was evaluated on the issues
that are most important to the retention and promotion
of women lawyers in six measured areas: workforce profile,
benefits and compensation, parental leave, childcare,
flexibility, and retention and advancement of women. The
complete list of the 2007 Best Law Firms for Women can
be found in the August/September issue of Working
Mother magazine and at www.workingmother.com and
www.flextimelawyers.com. ■

Interview with Partner and Firm General Counsel Charlotte
Moses Fischman: National Alliance for Mental Illness
Charlotte Fischman is the current President of the Board of Directors of the National Alliance for the Mentally Ill (NAMI), New
York City Metro Chapter. NAMI is the nation’s largest grassroots mental health organization dedicated to improving the lives of persons
living with serious mental illness and their families.
Interviewer: Charlotte, what
got you involved with NAMI
in the first place? How long
have you been working towards
this cause?
Charlotte: In 1996, my
daughter was diagnosed with a
serious and persistent mental
Charlotte Moses Fischman
illness. By 1999, I was on the
Board of NAMI. My association with NAMI permitted me
to try to have an impact on the mental health system and,
at the same time, to stay well informed about research,
developments and programs that might benefit my daughter.
Interviewer: Please tell us a little bit more about NAMI.
Charlotte: NAMI is a New York City affiliate of a national
movement that had its origins about three decades ago.
Formed by family members responsible for the care and
treatment of their loved ones, NAMI provides support,
education and advocacy for families and individuals who
live with mental illness and works collaboratively with
other stakeholders in the community to educate the public,
advocate for legislation, reduce stigma and discrimination,
and improve the mental health system.
Interviewer: What are the activities in which you participate
and do you have a specific role within the organization?
Charlotte: As the President and Chairman of the Board of
NAMI, I participate in all of NAMI’s activities, which
include the presentation of public programs, lobbying for
legislative change, running support groups, supporting
the Helpline, family psychoeducation, outreach to the
African American, Asian American and Latino communities
of New York City, operating a large volunteer program,
and evaluating Timothy’s Law, which mandates that
insurance providers covering any health care services must
also provide coverage for mental health services.
Interviewer: How supportive has Kramer Levin been with
your work with NAMI? Have employees participated in any
NAMI events?
Charlotte: Kramer Levin has made its resources available
to NAMI, a tremendous source of strength to a small notfor-profit like NAMI. The firm makes its conference room
space available for board meetings and public meetings,
and the lawyers have done pro bono work on NAMI’s
corporate documents, the handling of bequests to NAMI,
NAMI’s registration as a lobbyist and a host of other legal
issues that arise from time to time. Not-for-profits like
NAMI must comply with a growing list of laws and
regulations, and the firm’s expertise in not-for-profit law
and corporate law has served NAMI well.
NAMI held its first NAMIWALK at the South Street
Seaport this year, joining a growing number of
NAMIWALKS throughout the nation. Kramer Levin
hosted the kick-off luncheon, formed a walking team and
many staff members participated in the Walk and raised
money. I was touched by the participation and amazed
by the success of the fund raising.
Interviewer: What can the general public do to help
NAMI in its mission?
Charlotte: Mental illness touches all of us. As individuals
we need to stand up and speak about our personal
experiences to help erase the stigma that surrounds mental
illness. The medical community knows that mental illness
is a misnomer. A sick brain is no different than any other
sick or diseased organ—heart, kidneys, liver, etc. Mental
illness is biologically based, no different than physical
illness. If this message can be delivered to the general
public and reflected in the media, then the terrible
prejudice and discrimination that persons with mental
illness face will weaken. Persons suffering from
schizophrenia, bi-polar disease, depression and other serious
mental illnesses often face a lifetime battle to reclaim their
lives and start the process of recovery. The community’s
acceptance of these individuals and recognition of their
heroic struggles would be part of the cure. Each of us
should try to confront stigma and discrimination, and we
can do that in the workplace, at Kramer Levin. ■
