Hemington was a proud sponsor for the Virginia Women Attorneys Association event, “Finding Your Path to Professional Growth and Personal Joy,” which raised $1,120 for the Lorton Action Community Center.
Jen Dawson moderated the panel discussion in which senior women lawyers shared their experiences and advice on managing some of the challenges featured in Hemington’s Breadwinner Women Lawyer study. Supporting events like this one aligns with Hemington’s vision for lifting up women lawyers. We understand and are in awe of how women lawyers are challenged with even more pressures – financial and societal – than the average breadwinner woman. And – as we wrote in our women lawyer study – we strongly believe more women need to rise to the highest levels of the legal profession in order to represent the perspectives, needs and concerns of other women and have a larger say in legal issues that affect us all.
