Jimerson Birr Attorneys Featured in Attorney at Law Magazine Special Issue

Jimerson Birr attorneys Kimberly Killian Law and Jessica Mazariego were featured in a special issue of Attorney at Law Magazine. Published May 29, the Women in Law special feature focused on the incredible impact female attorneys have with their clients and the profession. 

The issue shared powerful anecdotes from female attorneys across the nation. After visiting a firm booth at a job fair where the firm representative was incredibly derogatory, Jessica Mazariego was undeterred. “In shock, I walked away. Now, I’m a successful commercial litigator with a proven track record – in private practice, of course. His attempt to dissuade me only fueled my ambition,” Jessica told the publication. 

Kimberly Killian Law explained how significant progress has been made for women in the legal profession, but that there is still room for improvement. “The number of women in positions of power continues to be an issue for both women in private practice and in house,” Kimberly stated. “While women make up over 50% of associates in law firms, they only make up 28% of law firm partners. For Fortune 500 companies, women hold approximately 28% of the general counsel positions. These gaps can be overcome by committing to transparent promotion and leadership criteria, normalizing flexible work environments, implementing mentorship programs for women, investing in leadership development for women, and creating an inclusive culture.”
