Attorney Bridget Duignan Announces Candidacy for 3rd Vice President of the Illinois State Bar Association

Chicago Attorney Bridget Duignan is excited to announce her candidacy for 3rd Vice President of the Illinois State Bar Association, an organization that she has actively served since 2008. Bridget is a managing partner at Latherow & Duignan, a Chicago personal injury firm, where she focuses on medical negligence, sexual abuse, construction negligence, and wrongful death matters.

Bridget is passionate about making a positive impact within the legal community and utilizing her legal competencies and capabilities to help those most in need. She understands that the purpose of the ISBA is to benefit attorneys and their clients, as well as to advance the profession. To that end, should Bridget be elected, she aims to harness all of what she has accomplished within the ISBA with an eye towards equity and modernization to address the current struggles of attorneys, from solo-practitioners to those working in large law firms, especially in establishing and maintaining a work-life balance.

She seeks to bring awareness and assistance to those who have been disproportionately affected by the recent pandemic faced by this country and around the globe. Not only is Bridget an attorney in private practice, but she is also a small-business owner and a mother. This unique perspective provides her an in-depth understanding of what challenges working parents face in the workplace and throughout the legal community. Additionally, she has dedicated much of her time working to eradicate workplace discrimination and harassment and is committed to continuing those efforts as ISBA President.
