Firm clients range from privately-held companies and family-owned businesses to governmental entities and public corporations . Downey Brand has been working with the American Leadership Forum for more than a decade . Firm partners are encouraged to apply for ALF as it offers exposure to segments of the Greater Sacramento region beyond the everyday experience . “ The chance to experience leadership education along with public-sector , nonprofit and other business leaders is an incredible opportunity ,” says Janlynn Fleener , partner and chair of the firm ’ s litigation department . “ The ALF program includes education on leadership style and strategies and we want our attorneys to develop their leadership styles both within and outside the firm ,” says Scott Shapiro , Downey Brand ’ s managing partner . “ The real benefit , though , is the network of hard-working people banding together to improve our region . As Sacramento ’ s largest law firm , a strong and resilient community is important to our leadership and a vital part of our fabric .”
