Because it’s still hard for women lawyers to be a success in the courtroom and at the conference table and also rear children, Houston lawyer Rachel Smith started a Houston networking and support group for women lawyers with children.
Smith, a partner in Baker & Hostetler in Houston, says in 2011 she decided she needed to do something because she couldn’t shed her workaholic ways even after she fell asleep behind the wheel while driving home from her firm in the wee hours of the morning three years ago.
