Sidebar Sessions: A Community of Counsel

A women in law network driving progress together

Championed by some of MNP’s leading women, Sidebar Sessions: A Community of Counsel is a bold and supportive space where women in law come together to connect, advocate, and lead. Through intentional gatherings, professional development, and peer support, Sidebar Sessions empowers women lawyers to own their voice, elevate their practice, and redefine leadership in law.

Welcome to the community

Whether you're navigating the courtroom, carving your path to partnership, or seeking a space where your voice is heard and valued — Sidebar Sessions is for you. Let this be the start of something powerful: real dialogue, authentic support, and a peer network that moves with you, not just beside you.

This community is built on real conversations, shared experiences, and collective strength.
