MATA Women Trial Lawyers Caucus

Co-chairs: Lauren Guth Barnes and Kim Dougherty

Welcome to the MATA Women’s Caucus! The MATA Women’s Caucus provides opportunities for women at varying levels of the profession to connect with one another and share experiences, lessons learned in law, knowledge and wisdom. Through social, professional, educational and community service events, the Women’s Caucus is a resource for networking and developing relationships between women in the plaintiff’s bar and helps foster an environment where women attorneys can learn from one another and overcome challenges together.
