Daniella Landers Elected President-Elect of Houston Bar Association

The Houston Bar Association has selected Womble Bond Dickinson Partner Daniella Landers to be the organization’s President-Elect. Landers will become the HBA’s President in May 2025.

The HBA is the fourth-largest bar in the U.S. with over 11,000 members.  Landers will be the organization’s first African-American woman, and only the sixth woman, to serve as President in the nearly 155-year history of the organization. She has served on the HBA's Board of Directors for over ten years.

“I’m honored that my professional peers have elected me to this position,” Landers said. “The Houston Bar Association does amazing things—for the legal profession, for its members, and for the community. I’m looking forward to helping continue this tradition of service.”

Womble Bond Dickinson Chair & CEO Betty Temple said, “It is quite an honor for one of our Partners to be elected to lead one of the country’s largest bar associations. Congratulations, Daniella!”

These include risk assessment, environmental social governance (ESG), crises management and incident response, environmental permitting and compliance, environmental due diligence in acquisitions and transactions, management of environmental issues affecting the upstream, midstream, downstream, and renewables and alternative energy sectors, natural resources damages claims, climate change initiatives, and pollution exposure disputes.
