WOMEN TO WATCH

Jessica Koehler

Attorney
Wright Lindsey Jennings

I am engaged in an active litigation practice that encompasses product liability defense, general commercial litigation and insurance defense. I’ve successfully represented manufacturers, insurance companies, pharmaceutical corporations, financial institutions and major retailers in fast-paced, complex litigation.

PRESSING QUESTIONS

How I knew this was my passion

My mother is an attorney, so I grew up watching her. For as long as I can remember, I wanted to follow in those footsteps.

Nonprofit I wish more people knew about

AR Kids Read. Check out the tutoring opportunities!

Biggest challenges in my career

The right work/life balance. I’m fortunate to work at a place that values attorneys’ lives outside the office and allows me to have a career while also being a mother.

What keeps me coming back to my job every day

No day is the same. One day I’m drafting motions at my desk and the next I’m touring a company’s research and design facility to view their latest product developments.
