PLI's Women Lawyers in Leadership 2022

9:00 am - 4:45 pm ET

Joan McKown, a partner in our Securities Litigation & SEC Enforcement Practice, will participate in a panel discussion on "Best Leadership Practices for Women Lawyers" during PLI's "Women Lawyers in Leadership 2022" event on September 14.

Despite equal numbers of women entering the legal profession, female attorneys still lag in equity partnerships and leadership positions. Additionally, women attorneys frequently face unique institutional hurdles. PLI's informative conversation will feature attorneys who have successfully broken through the glass ceiling. This program will benefit women attorneys striving for leadership positions to gain a competitive edge.
