About Us
Nancy Holston, Founder
Working with women has always been important to me regardless of where I was in my career, but I was compelled to do something more while working in the legal industry. There are so many strong and gifted women lawyers who are struggling to keep their head above water. Many decide it’s not worth the struggle and leave the career they once desired.
The Alliance of Women Trial Lawyers is committed to empowering women trial lawyers, helping them to overcome systematic obstacles and realize greater self-sufficiency and wholeness through support, acknowledgement and utilization of dormant, yet innate strengths.
The Alliance of Women Trial Lawyers is a community. A community of women lawyers coming together for the specific purpose of:
- Encouraging

Inspiring and Cultivating all women in law by:

The Alliance is passionately committed to the purpose of the family of women lawyers. We support women who take responsibility for successful relationships with other professionals. The Alliance of Women Trial Lawyers advances the influence and impact of women in the legal community.
