International Women’s Day (IWD) is a global celebration of the countless social, economic, cultural, and political achievements of women. In 2024, the campaign theme Inspire Inclusion emphasizes the importance of diversity and empowerment in all aspects of society and underscores the crucial role of inclusion in achieving gender equality. It calls for action to break down barriers, challenge stereotypes, and create environments where all women are valued and respected. Learn more about IWD and this year’s theme.
Today, JHC celebrates the achievements, support, and leadership of all the dedicated women who impact the JHC family and its clients positively every day. JHC’s commitment to elevating women in the workplace and the legal industry is clear, with the overwhelming percentage of its staff, attorneys, and members being women:
- 83% of JHC employees are women
- 71% of JHC attorneys are women (2023 U.S. average was 40%)
- 71% of JHC members are women (2023 U.S. average was 28%)
These figures contrast starkly with U.S. legal industry averages and are a source of pride for the firm.
In honor of International Women’s Day and appreciation for its incredible, majority-women team, JHC supplied breakfast for each of its offices this morning catered by women-owned businesses local to each office. Their contributions to the firm and our clients cannot be overstated and do not go unnoticed. Thank you all.
