The National Association of Minority & Women Owned Law Firms (NAMWOLF) welcomes Brunswick Corporation to its Corporate and Public Entities Partnering Program (CPEPP).
"Brunswick Corporation's commitment to working with our Association in supporting minority and women-owned firms is exciting," said Yolanda Coly, Associate Director of NAMWOLF. "The partnership has made NAMWOLF stronger, and has increased opportunities for diverse law firms around the country," she added.

NAMWOLF strives to recruit and admit only those minority and women-owned law firms that have a track record of successfully representing major corporations and public entities.
"We are looking forward to working with NAMWOLF to increase our utilization of high-quality law firms owned by women and minorities. This is an exciting project and part of our commitment to providing the finest legal services to Brunswick Corporation," said Marschall I.
