Celebrating National Hispanic Heritage Month (ft. Marisela Peña Gonzalez and Javier Gonzalez)
At Jackson Walker, we are extremely proud of our Hispanic attorneys and allied professionals. As we celebrate National Hispanic Heritage Month through October 15, Houston attorneys Marisela Peña Gonzalez and Javier Gonzalez joined the Fast Takes podcast to share how their upbringings shaped their journeys. As a fourth-generation Texan and a first-generation college graduate, Corporate & Securities partner Marisela Peña Gonzalez seized every opportunity along the way and proudly serves as an example to other Latinas that they too can carve out a space in a place like Jackson Walker if they seize opportunities, as well. Javier Gonzalez, an associate in the Trial & Appellate Litigation and Bankruptcy, Restructuring, & Recovery practices, was born in Mexico City and raised in Houston, Texas. Growing up in a close-knit Mexican community centered around family, Javier treats every individual, even adversaries in the courtroom, as people. We all have individual and shared experiences in our lives which shape our heritage and cultures. At Jackson Walker, we are proud to have individuals like Marisela Peña Gonzalez and Javier Gonzalez who enrich the Firm’s culture by sharing their stories and experiences with us. Please join us in celebrating National Hispanic Heritage Month. Visit our Diversity & Inclusion page for more information about our efforts to create a more diverse and inclusive environment for all.
