Women's White Collar Defense Association

The Women’s White Collar Defense Association (WWCDA) has 37 chapters and 1,400 members throughout the US and beyond. WWCDA promotes the common business and professional interests of women attorneys and other professionals who specialize in the representation of corporations and individuals facing government enforcement actions (criminal, civil, regulatory, and administrative), and in internal investigations, compliance and ethics matters. WWCDA promotes diversity in the legal profession, organizes business activities to facilitate networking and business development opportunities for women in the practice, and provides educational programming focused on the defense of government enforcement actions and internal investigations, compliance and ethics issues. WWCDA also promotes the common interests of women consulting professionals who specialize in the same field and offer support services. WWCDA's chapters welcome as members women private practitioners practicing in the area of White Collar Defense and Investigations. Although private practitioners of all seniority levels may apply to become members, some chapters and some events may be limited to more senior private practitioners to facilitate the strength and growth of our professional support and referral network. WWCDA also welcomes as members women professionals with consulting firms who specialize in the White Collar Defense and Investigations field and offer support services. Membership of women consulting professionals may be limited in number and to senior-level women from the consulting firm’s regional office. WWCDA chapters also have “Non-member affiliate” status that allows for limited participation by women who do not meet the chapter’s membership criteria.
