A high percentage of women in the firm’s partnership, as well as in leadership positions, factored into the high ranking. As did the firm’s innovative and creative programs geared toward the helping women lawyers succeed in their careers. The firm’s success speaks directly to the many women in leadership positions at our firm, including Julie Jones who became chair in January 2020.
