Brooklyn Women’s Bar Association teaches negotiating strategies to overcome wage discrimination
The Brooklyn Women’s Bar Association (BWBA) hosted a seminar titled “Get the Money You Deserve for the Job You Do — Negotiation Strategies for Women” that taught female attorneys tactics to overcome wage discrimination, at Abrams Fensterman in Downtown Brooklyn on Tuesday.
Florina Altshiler, managing attorney at Russo & Toner LLP, led the seminar. Altshiler is a litigation attorney who graduated from Brooklyn Technical High School and St. John’s University before she moved to Alaska and then to Buffalo to practice law.
“She presented this program at our state chapter convention at one of our sister chapters and it was so well received that we invited her to Brooklyn to have her share that program with us,” said Natoya McGhie, co-chair of BWBA’s Young Lawyers Committee.
