The law firm of Moore & Van Allen has more than 700 attorneys and staff members serving clients in over 90 areas of focus. It’s one of the largest law firms in the Southeast and the largest in North Carolina. The firm’s growth led MVA’s management committee to expand its leadership structure. An inaugural chief people officer was hired in 2023 to build a more robust human resources function. Initiatives have included strengthening the #irm’s business professional staff with a monthly Managers Forum, during which managers discuss nonlegal departments such as marketing, information technology, accounting and facilities. The group brainstormed an employee recognition program called MVA MVP.
MVA’s robust Business Resource Groups, such as the LGBTQ+ Resource Group and Women of MVA, have seen increased participation and understanding since the launch of a quarterly internal newsletter highlighting the BRG’s efforts within the firm. Inside the HR department, greater deficiencies resulting from realigned duties and titles helped support the creation of a director of administration function. Now MVA is poised for even more growth, and in 2024 MVA announced one of its largest ever classes of new partners.
