Chapters

Chicago

The Chicago Chapter of the Women’s White Collar Defense Association launched in June 2012 to an enthusiastic membership of Chicago’s women lawyers and legal consultants whose primary practice area is white collar criminal and government enforcement defense. The Group has successfully convened regular quarterly networking events since its 2012 inception.

Our simple mission is to provide regular opportunities for Chicago’s women in white collar defense to build and broaden their network of professional contacts and referral sources within the white collar space. The Group also created a Referral Directory containing member biographies and contact information to serve as a desktop resource when opportunities for referrals arise.

Chicago looks forward to working closely with the National group and other City Leaders to help bridge relationships between our practices and theirs.
