Burr & Forman Named to Top 10 of Atlanta Business Chronicles’ Healthiest Employers Awards for Second Consecutive Year

    February 22, 2012

    For the second year in a row, Burr & Forman LLP is honored to have been named one of Atlanta’s Healthiest Employers, awarded by the Atlanta Business Chronicle.

    The firm placed in the top 10 winners in the “Large Company” category, and Burr is the only law firm to make the top 10 in any category.

    Since the first wellness initiative was implemented at Burr & Forman in 2008, the firm continues its commitment to wellness through a variety of programs aimed at physical fitness, nutrition and reducing stress.

    “Over 75 percent of our workforce participates in one or more of our wellness programs on an annual basis,” said Cathy Ogletree, director of human resources. “We offer many wellness programs to meet our employees’ different needs and to make them fun, easy to participate, and competitive, where appropriate.”

    Burr & Forman programs include: annual biometric health screenings, health coaching, a smoking cessation program, and flu shots to its employees and spouses. To further support healthy living, the firm offers fruit for purchase in the company break room, healthy vending choices and lunch-and-learn education programs with healthy meals.

    Burr & Forman employees are encouraged to engage in physical activity with an annual walking program. The firm provides incentives for those who walk at least two miles daily over a 12-week period. Also, a newly added team competition persuades employees to walk to gain “bragging rights” and a team trophy to display in the office until next year’s program. Employees can also walk to be included in a drawing for a $1,000 firm contribution to their favorite charity.

    TESTIMONIALS

    • “I have worked with Chris Linde and Eric Golden on two separate legal matters.  In both, their level headedness and systematic approach to the various outcomes were planned and continually communicated with me. I felt very much a part of the process. While the legal process was drawn out due to the court system, Chris and Eric made the process as smooth as possible and never promised anything they knew they couldn't deliver on.  I highly recommend both of them for legal issues and will definitely retain them again on new issues that may arise.”

      -John Lehr, MD

    • "Darlene is very responsive to our needs and considers all solutions to our problems. She looks at all sides of the issue and clearly explains what we are facing, the various options for resolution, and the pros and cons of the options. One of her greatest qualities is that she doesn’t overpromise on timelines."

      -Anonymous

    • “I have found the ERISA group, and especially Logan Hinkle, to be knowledgeable and very responsive as we navigate the changes in HIPAA, PPA and more recently PPACA to make sure we are in compliance and our documentation in order.  I can recommend them highly.”

    • “He is an excellent attorney, a very good litigator. He has a very good and calm demeanor and doesn’t get wild. He keeps his cool and continues to pile on. He is a good planner in terms of strategy."

      -Chambers 2012

    • "The Burr & Forman Creditor's Rights group is top notch and definitely should be ranked with the nation's best lawyers. They are responsive, timely, very knowledgeable, resourceful, and helpful. They fight for their clients while offering alternative strategies that may be less expensive. That being said, they will "go to the mat" if necessary and do so in a prudent well prepared manner."
