Chapters

Germany

The Germany Chapter of the Women’s White Collar Defense Association (WWCDA) was launched in September 2019. The Germany Chapter seeks to fulfill the mission and goals of the WWCDA worldwide — to provide a forum and platform to female lawyers and consultants focused on white collar litigation, compliance and investigations. The Germany Chapter promotes greater visibility to women professionals in this field.

With members and leadership from top local law and advisory service firms, the WWCDA Germany Chapter helps to foster the success of women at all levels of their careers. The Chapter’s events and initiatives will provide members with regular opportunities to build relationships and network, attend educational programs, and broaden professional opportunities and resources for our members across Germany and beyond.
