2181 ALLIANCE
Not Waiting Until 2181
A national community of women law firm managing partners and law firm leaders—advancing leadership, supporting one another, and accelerating change.
I have always believed that strong women support strong women. The 2181 Alliance is something I am intentionally building to create a space where women law firm leaders can connect, support one another, and move our profession forward—now, not in 2181.
— Jacqueline Newman, Esq.
What this Is
The 2181 Alliance is an invite-only network of women law firm managing partners and senior decision-makers in law firms across the country. We come together to share ideas, support one another, and navigate the unique challenges of leading modern law firms—while actively working to change the future of leadership in our profession.
This is not a traditional networking group. This is a peer-level leadership forum—a space for women who are already making decisions, running law firms, and navigating the realities of leadership at the highest levels.
Here, conversations are candid. Ideas are practical. Support is real.
The Meaning Behind 2181
2181 refers to a study projecting that gender parity in law firm leadership will not be reached until the year 2181.
We are not waiting
The 2181 Alliance exists to bring that date forward—by fostering connection, collaboration, and leadership among women who are shaping the future of the legal industry today.
Who Is This For
If you are a woman shaping decisions, strategy, and culture at your law firm—you belong in this conversation.
