Valerie Fenchel, founding attorney of Fenchel Family Law, PC, was honored at a luncheon hosted by the San Francisco Business Times and Wells Fargo last month.
San Francisco, California, November 6, 2024 — Fenchel Family Law, PC, a top-rated divorce and family law firm, was honored by the San Francisco Business Times as one of the Top 80 Women-Owned Businesses in San Francisco’s Bay Area. Each of the 80 businesses on the list were categorized as being 51% women-owned or greater. This recognition not only capitalizes on the firm’s dedication to excellence and leadership in the industry, but to blazing their own trail forward in a historically male-dominated industry.
Fenchel has had a dream of owning and operating her own business for most of her life. As a family lawyer, she believes that owning her own firm empowers her with the freedom to serve each client in a way that reflects the values and principles that are important to her. However, she admits that her role as a family lawyer and her role as a business owner are sometimes in conflict with one another. “It’s a different skill set,” says Valerie Fenchel. “You have to love it.”
Millions of other women in America share Fenchel’s passion for entrepreneurship – more now than ever before. According to Wells Fargo, the number of women-owned businesses increased at nearly double the rate of those owned by men between 2019 and 2023, and from 2022 to 2023, the rate of growth increased to 4.5 times. Today, women-owned businesses make up nearly 40% of all businesses in the United States.
The recognition of Fenchel Family Law, PC by the San Francisco Business Times places the firm among an elite group of businesses that drive innovation and economic impact in San Francisco, a fact which brings Fenchel an immense sense of pride. She states, “We’re honored to be recognized for our dedication to supporting families through complex legal challenges. Thank you to our incredible team and clients for making this possible!”
