Spencer Fane was privileged to sponsor Lhakpa Sherpa, a Nepali Sherpa mountain climber, in her most recent expedition, in which she achieved her 10th summit of Mount Everest on May 13, 2022, breaking her own record by summiting the mountain more than any woman in the world.
Spencer Fane was one of several organizations that significantly underwrote and crowd-funded her historic achievement, which was featured by Netflix in a 2024 documentary “Mountain Queen: The Summits of Lhakpa Sherpa.”
Our firm was fortunate to have Lhakpa as a featured guest during its 2022 International Women’s Day celebration, during which she shared her story and achievements, including how she has completed the most Everest climbs of any woman in the world with the determination to “just keep going” despite the many obstacles in her way.
At Spencer Fane, which has been recognized by The American Lawyer for making its own “climb” in the rankings as the fastest-growing law firm in the nation, our firm aims to advance women in the firm and their civic and business communities. The Women ADVOCATE affinity group is dedicated to this mission and works to implement internal and external initiatives, including the International Women’s Day event and supporting Lhakpa.
