Michigan Lawyer's Weekly has named Nacht & Associates to its "21st Century Club." The Ann Arbor based Firm will be named in Monday's edition of the paper among twenty-one Michigan law firms to be honored for their innovative thinking in attracting and retaining talented young attorneys. One of those firms will be crowned the 2008 "21st Century Innovator" at the annual dinner and award ceremony on September 10, 2008 at The Community House in Birmingham. The Innovator Award is co-sponsored by Michigan Lawyers Weekly and the Women Lawyers Association of Michigan

Nacht & Associates was selected from a state-wide field based on criteria such as its ability to demonstrate innovative thinking in the areas of "long-term retention programs for associates that encourage growth within the law firm, flex-time programs that recognize the importance of work-life balance without jeopardizing or compromising momentum for the partnership track, technology-driven offices that allow associates and partners to work as efficiently outside as inside the building and recruitment programs that encourage the best and brightest from Michigan law schools to stay and practice law in Michigan."

In a letter to Michigan Lawyers Weekly, Nacht and Associates partner Jennifer Salvatore says "The philosophy- that all of us (not only attorneys) have lives outside of work that are meaningful and family responsibilities that are important-has led to a culture of responsibility, whereby our staff and attorneys work hard, communicate well, cover for each other, support each other during different life events, and at times work overtime to compensate for the benefit of flexibility. In doing so, I believe that we are personally and institutionally healthier and more productive."
