Drew Eckl & Farnham has promoted a new slate of partners, elevating all women for the first time—including a former race car driver who took a long detour from her practice—amid a greater focus on work-life balance for senior associates.

Jennifer Parrott, the former racer, was promoted from non-equity to equity partner and Vivian Fisher, Whitney Lay Greene and Melody Kiella were named partners, effective Jan. 1, 2020. Parrott, Greene and Kiella have general liability defense practices, while Fisher represents financial institutions in loan disputes and other matters.
