Heller Ehrman Named Among PINK Magazine's Top Companies for Women

Firm Ranked for a Second Consecutive Year as PINK Recognizes 13
Companies in 2008 List
SAN FRANCISCO--(Business Wire)--
Heller Ehrman LLP announced that the firm has been named to PINK
magazine's list of Top Companies for Women for a second consecutive
year. This year, PINK's list will include 13 companies and it is
scheduled to appear in the magazine's September-October issue. In
2007, Heller Ehrman was the only law firm named to PINK's inaugural
list of Top Companies for Women.

PINK compiled its 2008 Top Companies for Women list based on
responses from America's leading companies to nearly 100 questions and
data points related to women's advancement. Among the criteria the
magazine evaluated: Power (women in board seats and C-suites, and
those with profit and loss responsibility); Pipeline (leadership
training, mentoring and coaching programs to retain and advance
talented women); and Pay (evidence of pay equity, including the
percentage of women in the top fifth of payroll).

"Heller Ehrman is committed to the ongoing career enhancement and
professional development of its women professionals," said Lynn J.
Loacker, a shareholder in Heller Ehrman's New York office and chair of
the firm's Gender Diversity Committee. "With the committee's help, the
firm has developed and implemented several policies that allow women
at all levels to achieve their career goals. We are grateful to PINK
magazine for recognizing our efforts for a second consecutive year."

Published seven times in 2008, PINK offers the only national
magazine and conference series dedicated exclusively to women's
professional growth. PINK magazine features a new generation of
America's most influential women who are doing great things in their
work and in their lives - redefining success in the 21st century.
