Jackson Walker congratulates the 31 attorneys who were included in the Texas Top Women 2024 Magazine published by Thomson Reuters’ Super Lawyers. The annual Texas Top Texas Women edition includes the highest-rated women attorneys across the “Texas Rising Stars” and “Texas Super Lawyers” lists.
In 2023, Jackson Walker saw the recognition of 63 “Texas Rising Stars” and 72 “Texas Super Lawyers.” These honorees were selected by peers within and outside the firm and were evaluated on 12 indicators of peer recognition and professional achievement, including experience, results for their clients, representative clients, honors and awards, special licenses and certifications, their position with the law firm, bar and professional activity, pro bono and community service, scholarly lectures and writings, and their education and employment background.
The firm proudly congratulates the attorneys who were selected as “Texas Rising Stars” and “Texas Super Lawyers.” We are particularly proud of the following 31 women attorneys who were selected among the top women in their practice area. A special congratulations are also in order for Julia Mann and Sarah Patel Pacheco, who were recognized in the “Top 50 Women” list, as well as Amanda Crouch and Veronica Polnick, who were named to the “Up-and-Coming 50 Women.”
