FloranceGordonBrown

With a storied pedigree that has spanned over a century, the Richmond firm of FloranceGordonBrown is always looking for opportunities to make women lawyers a part of its now-30-employee firm, which specializes in business law, real estate, litigation, estate planning and family law.

President Kimberlee Harris Ramsey has been with the firm for the entirety of her legal career. She began at FloranceGordonBrown as a law clerk and has risen through the ranks to become president, using her background and unique life experience to provide valuable insight and guidance that has helped shape the firm as it exists today.

At one time, Harris Ramsey was one of only two female attorneys in the firm, and the only female attorney who was a shareholder; now, FloranceGordonBrown has a total of 19 attorneys; seven are women. The firm is 37% female-owned and added another female shareholder last year.

Harris Ramsey continues to serve as president and is also president of the firm’s domestic relations practice group. She’s also president of the Virginia Bar Association. Susanna Jones leads the firm’s estate planning and administration practice group.  As head of their practice groups, both Harris Ramsey and Jones help manage, and provide general oversight of, multiple attorneys and staff in their respective practice groups as well as managing very busy individual practices.

Firm members make it a priority to achieve a collegial, positive, supportive environment for its employees both within and outside the firm and take pride in being part of a concerted effort to bring positivity back to the practice of law.
