Women's White Collar Defense Association (WWCDA)

Celebrating a milestone, 2024 marks the 25th anniversary of the Women’s White Collar Defense Association (WWCDA)! This significant moment calls for recognizing our collective successes and progress. Founded in 1999 by a small group of forward-thinking women, WWCDA has blossomed into a powerful network of over 4,000 members across North America, Europe, Latin America, and Asia Pacific—each dedicated to legal and compliance professions. Join us as we honor #WWCDA25YearsStrong! Our organization features an impressive roster that includes more than 3,000 practitioners focused on white collar defense; among them are distinguished professionals such as former General Counsels and Chief Compliance Officers as well as ex-prosecutors and high-ranking officials. We strive to represent women attorneys involved with corporations facing government enforcement—from criminal investigations to regulatory matters—with an emphasis on internal compliance issues too. Dedicated to enhancing diversity within the sector while fostering networking through business initiatives tailored specifically for female practitioners, WWCDA is committed to developing educational programs centered around defending against governmental actions along with ethics considerations. Additionally, we extend support for consulting experts who serve similar specialties while offering valuable resources like referral opportunities for attorneys in this field.
