Women’s Power Summit

Since 2009, the Women’s Power Summit on Law and Leadership has convened the Who’s Who of influential women in the legal profession to generate ideas, lead change, network, and build community. Speakers and attendees include lawyers at the height of their careers – chief legal officers and general counsel, law firm leadership, judges, government officials, university leaders, bar presidents and other preeminent lawyers, as well as academics and business leaders - all positioned to make significant and lasting change in the legal profession. The summit is held in Austin in even-numbered years, with the goal of increasing the number of women lawyers in positions of influence within the legal profession and their communities.
