    About the Directory

    The National Directory of Women Lawyers and Women Owned-Law Firms

    The National Directory of Women-Owned Law Firms and Women Lawyers is published annually, and provides a well-organized guide for locating women lawyers and women-owned law firms throughout the United States. By indexing the lawyers by name and also by geographic area, the Directory is both useful and accessible. Experience in past years demonstrates that the Directory has become the definitive compendium of practicing women attorneys and their law firms in the United States.

    NAWL applauds all those who support diversity in the legal profession, and who take advantage of the rich tradition women have long brought to the legal system. NAWL is honored to play an ongoing role in the promotion of fairness and equal opportunity for lawyers and for society at large.

    Since its inaugural edition, NAWL has distributed the Directory to thousands of in-house counsel throughout the United States. Recipients include members of the American Corporate Counsel Association (ACCA) and the National Association of Law Placement (NALP). Lawyers and firms listing in the Directory have reported favorable response from corporate clients as a result of their listings, and in turn, NAWL members and others have benefited from the addition of web site links from the NAWL Directory website to each of our sponsors’ web sites.

    NAWL also distributes copies of the Directory at its midyear and annual meetings, held concurrently with the meetings of the American Bar Association. Additionally, the Directory is provided to attendees of programs co-sponsored by NAWL, including those presented by the National Conference of Women’s Bar Associations, state and regional women’s bar associations, and specialty bar groups.

    "As an in-house counsel at Deb Shops Inc,, I refer to the Directory of Women-Owned Law Firms and Women Lawyers to locate women lawyers as outside counsel for various matters I have around the country. I encourage all women lawyers to sign up for this tool that I consider a very valuable resource. I cannot ask you to do my legal work unless I know who you are!"
