Jackson Walker is pleased to congratulate Houston attorney Gabriela Barake on her election as a Fellow of the Texas Bar Foundation.

Fellowship within the Texas Bar Foundation is a distinguished recognition reserved for legal professionals who have demonstrated outstanding accomplishments in their field and a commitment to improving the Texas justice system. Each year, only one-third of one percent of Texas State Bar members are invited Fellows. Once nominees are selected, they must be elected by the foundation’s Board of Trustees, affirming the nominee’s standing within the legal community.

Gabriela joins more than 100 Jackson Walker attorneys who have been elected to fellowship and continue to actively support the foundation as fellows, life fellows, or sustaining life fellows. A fellow has made a pledge to the foundation, a life fellow has completed his or her initial pledge, and a sustaining life fellow continues to support the foundation even after fulfilling his or her pledge.

As the largest charitably funded bar foundation in the United States, the Texas Bar Foundation has made incredible contributions to the legal landscape, donating over $24 million to nonprofit organizations that support justice-related initiatives and services throughout Texas.
