BUFFALO, N.Y. — Pamela Davis Heilman, Esq., a partner and vice president of community relations at Hodgson Russ LLP, was recently inducted into the Western New York Women's Hall of Fame. She was one of five women honored this year for the ways in which they have enriched the community and inspired other women to succeed.

Ms. Heilman is one of the lead lawyers in the Firm's cross-border Canada/U.S. practice and regularly counsels Canadian organizations and businesses considering expansion into the United States. She also has extensive experience counseling nonprofit organizations and closely held businesses. Her career allows her to create opportunities for women on an international scale, advancing their business and professional status and sharing her leadership skills with businesswomen on both sides of the border. As the first woman to chair the United Way Board, she helped create the United Way's women in board governance program and the Western New York Women's Fund. Her success has earned her an Athena award and recognition from many community and academic organizations.

The Western New York Women's Hall of Fame was created by Project FLIGHT to honor women who serve as role models for other women to help enrich their lives, expand their expectations, and ensure their success. Project FLIGHT is a nonprofit organization of Buffalo State College devoted to promoting literacy in children, pre-kindergarten through high school, and their caregivers through school and family initiatives. 

With more than 200 attorneys practicing in all major areas of law, Hodgson Russ is the 205th largest law firm headquartered in the United States, as reported by the National Law Journal. It is one of approximately 100 firms in the country listed in America's Greatest Places to Work With a Law Degree. In addition, Hodgson Russ was recently named one of the country's most admired employers by American Employer Digest. The Firm, which was established in 1817 and is among the oldest law firms in the U.S., is the only law firm that can count two former U.S. presidents, Millard Fillmore and Grover Cleveland, among its alumni. The six offices of Hodgson Russ are located in Albany, Buffalo, Johnstown, and New York City, New York; Boca Raton, Florida; and Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
