jw2 (Jackson Walker Women) - A Formula with a Focus

Jackson Walker Women (jw2) is an initiative dedicated to the attraction, retention, and promotion of women professionals. Through its programs, jw2 creates opportunities for women attorneys to build strong networks to sustain a successful and satisfying legal career. At the same time, jw2 supports women in their efforts to make an impact in the community.

Women practice in all areas of the firm, serving as lead counsel in litigation, transactional, and regulatory matters. Currently, JW has more than 70 women attorneys. Many of JW's women attorneys have been recognized by their peers and professional organizations for their outstanding legal skills. JW's women attorneys are part of the firm's leadership, serving on management, compensation, and other committees. Publications such as The National Law Journal, Texas Monthly, and Texas Lawyer have acknowledged JW's women attorneys as being exceptional in their practice.
