 Ostolaza is a trailblazer on multiple levels: she is the first person in Texas to lead the firm (she runs Sidley from its Dallas office), the first woman to lead the 156-year-old company, and the first Hispanic woman to lead a top-seven firm in the country. She officially took the helm in May after spending a year as chair-elect, learning the ropes of leading a firm that will generate more than $3 billion in revenue this year,has 21 offices, and employs more than 2,000 lawyers around the world.
