When Washington, D.C. attorneys Hilary Gerzhoy of HWG LLP and Reem Sadik of Steptoe LLP met in 2020, they quickly realized the synergy that could arise from blending professional collaboration with genuine friendship. Witnessing how their male counterparts seamlessly integrated business with personal relationships, Gerzhoy and Sadik felt inspired to replicate this supportive network among women in the legal profession.
Their response to this need was the establishment of Her Legal Circle, a platform designed to bridge the gap between professional endeavors and personal support systems for women in law. Over the past three years, the organization has seen considerable growth, fostering an environment where female lawyers can cultivate both business connections and friendships.
