Big-Firm Lawyers Partner to Open Women-Owned Boutique

May 12, 2008

A new women-owned firm in Dallas, Spencer Crain Cubbage Healy & McNamara, formed by five veteran lawyers, opened its doors May 1. The five lawyers -- all were previously partners in big firms in Dallas -- do litigation, labor and employment law, business immigration work and dispute resolution. Founding partner Jennifer Jackson Spencer says the time is right to launch a majority-women-owned firm in Dallas: "It just seems like a lot of the companies ... had committed to diversifying their legal firms."
