Hanson Bridgett Ranks High in 2024 Law360 Women in Law Report

August 23, 2024 (San Francisco, CA) – Hanson Bridgett LLP is proud to have been ranked 9th for the highest representation of women in equity partnership in Law360's 2024 Women in Law Report and 15th overall in the 101-250 attorneys category. The firm’s strong rankings against much larger firms nationwide and Law360’s benchmarks underscore how it continues to set a new precedent in closing the gender gap.    

To be considered among the “Ceiling Smashers” on the list means the firm has demonstrated significant progress toward gender parity in its upper ranks. The recognition relates to the firm's success in efforts to “break the glass ceiling”  that has historically prevented women from being equally represented as equity partners. 

“We have a deep history of creating and nurturing advancement opportunities for women and we're considered industry leaders in this space, even among much larger firms with far greater resources,” said Jennifer Martinez, Hanson Bridgett's Chief Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Officer. “Fortunately, it's become part of our culture here and that's because we're doing the work and constantly evolving. We feel it's important to amplify that – our Managing Partner is a woman, half of our Section Leaders are women, I’m in a position of leadership, and the majority of our associates are women.”
