In honor of Women’s History Month, MSK hosted special events to celebrate the progress women have made, recognize their contributions across the legal profession, and continue building a workplace where everyone can thrive.
This year’s programming included a self-defense class focused on practical skills, awareness, confidence, and personal safety, as well as a wellbeing session, “Is It Hot in Here? And Other Conversations in the Workplace,” which encouraged thoughtful dialogue around peri-menopause, menopause, and the importance of reducing stigma in workplace conversations.
Through programs like these, MSK remains committed to fostering a culture of support, awareness, and inclusion.

A little luck, a lot of team spirit. 🍀
This St. Patrick’s Day, our offices came together to celebrate in true MSK fashion, good company, great conversations, and a shared appreciation for the culture that connects us across every location.
Moments like these reflect what makes MSK more than just a workplace. They’re a reminder that collaboration, camaraderie, and community are at the heart of everything we do.
Here’s to building something meaningful together, every day of the year.
MSK congratulates Cassandra Horton on being selected for the Leadership Council on Legal Diversity (LCLD) 2026 Pathfinders Program, a year-long initiative designed to support high-potential, early-career attorneys in developing leadership skills and expanding their professional networks.
Last week, Cassandra attended the 2026 Pathfinder Spring Meeting in Scottsdale, Arizona, where she joined fellow Pathfinders from across the country for sessions on leadership development, communication, and career advancement, along with collaborative workshops and networking opportunities with the next generation of legal leaders.
MSK was proud to support the Public Counsel’s Run for Justice through sponsorship and team participation in the event. This inspiring event has brought together teams from leading law firms and corporations across Southern California for more than two decades.
Hosted by @Public_Counsel , a nonprofit law firm dedicated to advancing civil rights and racial and economic justice, Run for Justice helps raise critical funds to support life-changing legal services for low-income communities. Through the work of attorneys, social workers, and volunteers, Public Counsel provides free legal support to those who might otherwise face legal barriers to stability, opportunity, and dignity.
Our team was honored to take part in this meaningful tradition and support Public Counsel’s mission to strengthen communities and expand access to justice.

Following our recent day of service in Los Angeles with Our Big Kitchen LA, the MSK team continued the momentum in Washington, D.C. with another opportunity to give back.
Partnering with Food For All DC, colleagues volunteered their time to support an organization dedicated to providing meals for neighbors experiencing food insecurity.
Just like in LA, the experience brought our team together around a shared purpose, strengthening connections while contributing to a meaningful cause in the local community.
We’re grateful to Food For All DC for the work they do every day to ensure more families have access to nourishing meals.

MSK recently partnered with Our Big Kitchen Los Angeles, a local soup kitchen, for a meaningful day of service in support of our local community.
Working alongside OBKLA’s chefs, our team prepared and packaged over 300 meals and 600 cookies from scratch. This was a hands-on experience that brought colleagues together around a shared purpose.
More than just volunteering, the day was an opportunity to connect, strengthen our team, and make a tangible impact for individuals and families facing food insecurity.
We’re grateful to Our Big Kitchen Los Angeles for the guidance and for the work they do every day to bring meals and community to those who need it most.
