Big Texas Firms Making More New Partners in 2019

Texas Lawyer senior reporter Brenda Sapino Jeffreys takes an in-depth look at the increase in new partner promotions at big firms in Texas. She notes that women made up 32 percent of the new partners, which is up from last year, when 28 percent of the new partners were women.

Bracewell’s Kate Day tells Jeffreys that the firm “makes a concerted effort to hire and promote women lawyers and nurture their careers as they advance up the associate ranks.”

New partner Lytch Gutmann adds that she is “proud the firm selected so many women as partners” in 2019 and that Bracewell “has a very strong mentoring program.”
