JLC's Paula Bliss Speaks at MLW 2025 Women's Leadership Conference

Last week, Massachusetts Lawyers Weekly hosted its inaugural Women's Leadership Summit to provide the tools, resources and experience to further cultivate greater female leadership across the Bay State's legal industry. The half-day networking and educational seminar included tracks on finding the elusive work-life balance, launching your own law firm, and building personal brand to grow a client base.

Justice Law Collaborative (JLC) co-founder and partner Paula Bliss was tapped for a panel focused on legal entrepreneurship. Her selection was based on JLC's consistent success throughout the firm's three short years of operation. In that brief time, JLC has achieved exceptional results litigating the rights of individuals harmed by corporate negligence or greed as well as those that have suffered at the hands of abusers. Further, in the creation of their law practice, the co-founders of Justice Law Collaborative further built upon a foundation of superior legal prowess with the addition of a trauma-informed framework.

"It is not unusual for women in law to earn a seat at the table however it is challenging for them to own the first chair," said Paula Bliss. "As attorneys and legal industry entrepreneurs, our goal is to grow the success rate of women achieving greatness in law not only as lawyers, but as firm leaders, mentors, and executors of their own destinies."

Today, Justice Law Collaborative further differentiates itself by focusing on networking, mentorship, collaborative versus competition, and a dedication to support women in law. The firm earned position on the 2025 Best Law Firms® list and was highlighted by Massachusetts Lawyers Weekly as a top Women Led Law Firm (2024). Justice Law Collaborative also received a 2024 Empowering Women Award by Massachusetts Lawyers Weekly in the Fall of 2024.
