Spencer Fane attorney Julia Vander Weele has once again been highlighted in Missouri Lawyers Media (MLM)’s annual Best Women-Led Law Firms feature for serving as Office Managing Partner for the firm’s Kansas City, Missouri, office.
The publication highlighted the strengths Julia brings to her role as OMP while maintaining a full-time legal practice. Focused on “modeling firm values and promoting a collegial environment” while exploring professional development for early-career attorneys, she shared “focusing on integration and support for our lawyers and professional staff” as one of the key aspects of her work.
In addition to her leadership at the firm, Julia helps employers and other benefit plan sponsors create and maintain competitive benefits packages that attract and retain talent to help their businesses thrive. Her specific experience in the Employee Benefits Practice group includes managing issues related to the tax code and labor laws related to competitive tax-favored benefit packages that shield leadership from personal liability.
