Our Mission

Zealous Women is a community of female professionals organized to celebrate our engaged, passionate, and practical approach to conflict resolution.

During Zelle Hofmann's 20th Anniversary Retreat, several female attorneys enjoying a lively discussion recognized that women bring a unique perspective to their professional lives, and to dispute resolution, in particular. Women are many things: professionals, wives, mothers, friends, sisters, and daughters. Women use their experiences in these diverse roles when they approach disputes every day from a conflict between colleagues or friends to complex litigation. Based on this conversation, Zelle Hofmann's female lawyers banded together to create a place where women can explore these unique approaches to dispute resolution through articles, profiles, message boards, and other resources. Thus, Zealous Women was born.

Although begun by the women of one law firm, our goal is to provide a forum where all women who resolve disputes on a daily basis, in both their professional and personal lives, can celebrate their successes and consider the complexities of trying to have it all. Zealous Women strives to provide both young and seasoned professionals with resources to aid in professional and personal growth. We are committed to creating a dialogue among a diverse group of women that will lead to the successful resolution of conflicts.

When people disagree, Zealous Women find a solution.
