The Minority Corporate Counsel Association (MCCA) has selected Juanita DeLoach, a partner in Barnes & Thornburg’s Dallas office, to participate in its prestigious 2024 Sources of Success (SOS) cohort.
DeLoach is one of 33 attorneys from legal departments and law firms across the U.S. named to this year’s highly competitive professional development program. SOS is geared for high-potential talent and designed to help mid-career attorneys excel as leaders within their organizations.
