The NAWL Corporate Transactions Affinity Group connects women lawyers whose practice is focused on transactions and mergers and acquisitions in order to advance our professional growth, expand our networks, and to stay up-to-date on various legal developments related to corporate law, corporate finance, and securities. Whether in-house or in an entrepreneurial environment, part of a large organization or in private practice, the issues lawyers face in a corporate transactional/commercial practice are multifaceted. Some of us are specialists in mergers and acquisitions, project finance, securities, or corporate restructuring, while others are some combination of those areas and/or commercial generalists or practitioners in adjacent fields.
