In her new role, Ms. Jackson oversees the operations of the office, which now employs 330 attorneys and staff and has grown by 26 percent over the last five years. Ms. Jackson said her priorities as executive partner include guaranteeing excellent service to clients and making sure attorneys and staff feel happy and supported. She added she would also like to expand the firm's presence in D.C. as well as continue to prioritize pro bono work as part of the firm's commitment to giving back.
