Making Big Law Work: A Discussion with WilmerHale Partner Jessica Lewis on Mentorship, Motherhood & High-Stakes Advocacy
- This event has passed.
WSL+ is excited to host Jessica Lewis! Jessica combines elite litigation experience with a deep commitment to advancing women in the legal profession and she’s sharing what she’s learned with the Women of Stanford Law. Join us for a candid conversation with Jessica, a first-generation college student turned litigation partner at WilmerHale, as she shares how mentorship, motherhood, and grit shaped her path from rural Vermont to high-stakes securities cases in Silicon Valley. She’ll talk about what it takes to make Big Law doable for moms, how women can support each other through career inflection points, and why mentorship (in both directions) is essential every step of the way. Expect real talk, practical advice, and insights from headline-making cases like Theranos and the Wells Fargo “false accounts” scandal. Bring your questions for a moderated Q&A with WSL+!
