Mid-career women lawyers have stepped up into leadership at Jackson Walker‘s San Antonio office and at Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw Pittman‘s Houston office.

Julia Mann, a litigator who has practiced at Jackson Walker for 12 years, is the first woman to serve as managing partner of the San Antonio office, which opened in 1991. She is also only the second woman to serve as an office managing partner in the firm’s 132 years.
