Soberman’s Women for Women Group

Due to the unique challenges faced by women in initially entering the workforce and in balancing career and family, women have formed organizations to communicate with and educate one another. Women for Women is comprised of the female professionals at Soberman LLP and was founded in 1995 as a vehicle for providing business information, networking opportunities and financial services for women.
