Launched in 2017, McGuireWoods’ Women in Private Equity & Finance Initiative provides inspiration and support for women professionals in private equity and finance and those seeking careers in the industry.  By leveraging our longtime focus on diversity issues within the law firm setting and extending it to those in private equity and finance, we seek to provide a networking platform for women to raise their profiles, share thought leadership, expand business opportunities and, most importantly, help the industry continue to make progress. To facilitate deeper connections among women in our network, we welcome you to “WPEF Connect.”
