Breakfast Conversation with WLA Alum

Join the WLA for a candid conversation with Jessica Lewis, Partner at WilmerHale and Harvard Law alumna, about her journey from a small-town high school in rural Vermont to litigating high-stakes securities and corporate governance disputes in Silicon Valley. A first-generation college student, working mother of two, and nationally recognized litigator, Jessica will reflect on the choices, mentors, and experiences that shaped her career. She will share how she went from a 1L who thought she’d “spend a few years at a firm and pay off her loans” to building a career she never imagined in the heart of Silicon Valley. This will be a practical, ask-me-anything-style conversation about navigating law school, thriving in Big Law, finding mentors and sponsors, balancing career and family, and building a successful and fulfilling life in a demanding profession. Bring your questions. Coffee and bagels will be served.
