July 23, 2025: Morgan Lewis has been honored with a Bronze 2025 Stevie® Award for Great Employers in recognition of its Business Development (BD) department’s innovative onboarding and training program. The prestigious award celebrates organizations and professionals worldwide that are creating and cultivating outstanding workplaces. The winners, selected by more than 100 professionals globally, will be fêted during a gala event on September 16 in New York City.
Recognizing a need to overhaul a static PDF orientation binder, the firm’s BD department transformed its onboarding and training framework into a modern SharePoint-powered digital platform. This resource hub provides firm and department materials, functional overviews, SOPs, and on-demand learning content—delivering scalable, consistent, and personalized learning pathways. With its curated onboarding menus, narrated video content, and Trainings on Demand series, the program supports role-specific development while reinforcing the firm’s culture of collaboration and continuous learning. Since launching in January 2024, the platform has received more than 61,000 visits from 176 unique users and is now shared with other firm departments to promote BD capabilities and foster cross-department collaboration.
Judges praised Morgan Lewis’s tailored approach for new joiners, with one judge commenting on the firm’s “thoughtful digitization of onboarding using SharePoint as a modern, scalable solution.” Another judge remarked on the program as a “great investment in [your] people and productivity.”
