Houston Young Lawyers Association (HYLA)

What a gift learning about leadership from three greats—Dean Jeff Rensberger, Dean McKen Carrington, and Dean Leonard M. Baynes—of Houston’s law schools. I loved hearing about how each one approaches leadership in tough times. Thank you, Deans. And many thanks to Houston Young Lawyers Association (HYLA) Committee for putting on an informative and inspiring event.

Jackson Walker recently had the honor of sponsoring two incredible events for our local young lawyer communities. In Houston, we sponsored the Houston Young Lawyers Association (HYLA) “Evening with the Judiciary” at The Grove in downtown Houston. Our associates Crespin Linton, Carter Dickson, Baker Howry, Taylor Leger, Tayte Doddy, and Cameron Secord enjoyed connecting with the judiciary and peers. In San Antonio, we hosted the San Antonio Young Lawyers Association’s Volunteer Appreciation Happy Hour at our office. Robert Soza and Josué Galván joined into the celebration as San Antonio Young Lawyers Association (SAYLA) presented a generous $20,000 donation to the San Antonio Legal Services Association (SALSA), showcasing the power of community and support. #JacksonWalker #HYLA #SAYLA #SALSA #LegalCommunity #YoungLawyers
