Jackson Walker congratulates Austin partner Susan Dillon Ayers on receiving the 2024 Litigation/Appellate Award at the Travis County Women Lawyers’ Foundation (TCWLF) and Travis County Women Lawyers’ Association (TCWLA) Annual Grants & Awards Luncheon. The event took place on Friday, April 26, at the Fairmont Hotel in Austin, Texas.
TCWLF, the grant-giving arm of TCWLA, dedicated this year’s grants to local organizations providing pro bono legal aid to women and children in Travis County. The luncheon serves as a key fundraiser for these crucial grants, with the TCWLF board actively engaging in grant application solicitations from community nonprofits throughout the year. Furthermore, the ceremony celebrated local female attorneys who exemplify leadership in their respective fields. Nominees for the attorney awards are selected through peer nominations and jointly chosen by the boards of TCWLA and TCWLF.
