| McGuireWoods donated 978 hours to nonprofits in 2008 As a busy trial attorney and civil litigator at McGuireWoods LLP, partner Adrienne Conrad bills an average of 55 hours a week. On top of that, Conrad — who’s been married 10 years — still finds time to volunteer about 10 hours a week for various community organizations from the Jacksonville Planning Commission, where she’s vice chairwoman, to Jacksonville University where she’s on the Board of Trustees and a member of the school’s Strategic Planning and Enrollment committees. The volunteer work means Conrad usually attends a meeting or a reception almost every night of the week. bizjournals.com |
