Celebrating Women’s History Month! At Sideman & Bancroft, we’re incredibly proud to honor the achievements and contributions of women everywhere. As a women-owned law firm, our commitment to championing diversity, empowering women in the legal profession, and fostering an inclusive environment where everyone can thrive is unwavering.

Our status as a women-owned business is a source of immense pride for us. Predominantly led by women, both in ownership and key management roles, our firm’s leadership embodies the strength and capability of women in the legal arena. Our Executive Committee, which serves as the highest governing body within our organization, mirrors this commitment, with a significant representation of women guiding our strategic decisions – Kelly McCarthy, Hilary Pierce, Kirsten Wolff, and Wendy Tice-Wallner.

In recognition of our dedication to supporting women, we proudly hold certification as a women-owned business by the Supplier Clearinghouse. Moreover, our active participation in esteemed organizations such as the National Association of Minority and Women Owned Law Firms (NAMWOLF) and Chiefs in Intellectual Property: Advancing Women in Tech, Law (ChIPs) reflects our commitment to creating opportunities for underrepresented individuals in the legal profession. In 2024, Sideman & Bancroft was recognized in Law360’s 2024 Women in Law Report, ranking 8th out of 62 firms in the “100 or fewer”  attorneys category for the proportion of female attorney’s. In addition, Sideman & Bancroft was recognized in Law360’s Women in Law Report – The Ceiling Smashers for our exceptional commitment to gender equity in the legal industry. Our Firm ranks among the top law firms with 100 or fewer attorneys for having one of the highest percentages of women in our Equity Partnership.

Through these affiliations, we not only advocate for gender equality but actively work towards building a more inclusive and equitable legal landscape.
