Jackson Walker Diversity & Inclusion Annual Report 2018: Igniting Change

Recommendations

Info

Women's Initiative Jackson Walker has long prioritized the recruitment, retention, and development of our women attorneys. Over a decade ago, we launched the Jackson Walker Women (JW 2 ) initiative to attract, retain, and promote women professionals. Through its programs, JW 2 creates opportunities for women attorneys to develop their professional skills while supporting women in their efforts to balance work and family responsibilities. The initiative also provides a platform for women attorneys to generate business and pursue positions in leadership. In the pages that follow, we present our efforts to participate in events geared toward women in business, to facilitate business opportunities for women attorneys, and to support mothers throughout their pregnancy and continuing through their return to the Firm. To find out more about how JW 2 empowers women attorneys to build strong networks and sustain successful legal careers, go to JW.com/JW-Women.
