McGuireWoods was selected as a finalist in the Corporate Culture & Wellbeing Category in The American Lawyer’s annual Industry Awards, earning recognition for an innovative initiative to expand awareness of firm resources that promote wellness.
In 2025, McGuireWoods launched a program called “Mindful Monday,” a series of short articles posted to the firm’s intranet each month featuring resources to better support employee well-being. The series is part of the firm’s MW Cares wellness initiative.
The Mindful Monday series features e-learning tools, live programs and other resources that go beyond typical employee assistance programs by helping lawyers and business professionals focus on overall wellness — emotional, professional, financial and physical.
Monthly articles often focus on themes such as heart health for Valentine’s Day and financial wellness as the April tax filing deadline approaches. Others spotlight resources offered by the firm or third parties, including mental health assistance. McGuireWoods debuted its broader MW Cares initiative on World Mental Health Day in 2024.
“Being intentional about our health and well-being is a fundamental part of McGuireWoods’ commitment to inclusion,” said Danny Dellacona, McGuireWoods’ chief talent officer. “Mindful Monday is an effective way to shine a light on the resources available to our lawyers and business professionals.”
Winners of The American Lawyer Industry Awards will be announced Nov. 13, 2025, at a gala in New York.
