About the Group

The Jones Waldo Women Lawyers Group comprises the 12 talented women practicing law at our firm.

The group is co-lead by Kathleen McDonald and Marianne G. Sorensen. 

Practice areas represented range from real estate to domestic and family law to healthcare to franchise law. And the attorneys are as engaged in the community as they are in their profession. Of particular note, group member Lori W. Nelson is president-elect of the Utah State Bar and will start her term in July. All members of the group are involved with organizations that promote both the personal and professional success of women in Utah.

Kathleen McDonald elected Jones Waldo shareholder
Posted on May. 10, 2012

McDonald, who has been with Jones Waldo since 2006, is actively engaged in both the firm and the community.

She was recently elected as the co-chair of the Jones Waldo Women Lawyers Group and she is involved with Tracy Aviary, the Bennion Center and Women Lawyers of Utah. Her primary focus is litigation and has experience in environmental law, construction, appeals, arbitration and mediation, eminent domain, insurance/tort and legal ethics and professional responsibility.

The firm also elected four new members to its board of directors. Paul M. Harman was voted chairman and Bruce E. Babcock was elected senior vice president. Timothy B. Anderson, the managing partner of Jones Waldo’s St. George Office, and Lewis M. Francis were elected members.

“We congratulate the new members of our board of directors and are confident their insight and leadership will greatly benefit the firm,” said Keven Rowe, who was elected to a ninth term as president. “We also thank those departing board members who have served the firm with dedication and commitment.”

Two long-time board members stepped down from service. Glen Watkins, who had served for 13 years as chairman of the board and Susan Peterson, a 12-year veteran as the board’s vice president. Both Jones Waldo senior shareholders are still active at the firm and look forward to focusing on their practices.
