About the WIPL Network
The WIPL network was launched in 2012 as a foundation to integrate seven specific projects designed to accelerate economic empowerment of women in law departments and law firms. Each of these projects offers unparalleled value to rising women legal leaders through a meaningful and actionable support network. Together, these events foster networking, mentoring and sharing of ideas and best practices within the context of workshops, conferences, informal luncheons and dinners and awards events. The network underscores InsideCounsel's steadfast commitment to the next generation of female general counsel.
