AYLA President’s Column – Interview with Jorge Padilla

AYLA welcomes Jorge Padilla as president of the organization for the 2018-19 bar year.

AYLA: Let’s start with everyone’s favorite question: Would you tell us a little about yourself?

Padilla: I’m a partner in Jackson Walker’s litigation section, where I’ve practiced for over ten years. Originally from Spring, Texas, I moved to Austin to attend the University of Texas for undergrad, stayed for law school, and never looked back. My wife, Jackie, and I have three daughters (Isabel, Samantha, and Alexandra), and we all enjoy getting outdoors and all things UT. I am a proponent of the Oxford comma.

AYLA: What are some of your Austin-area favorites?

Padilla: There are so many to choose from, but it’s tough to beat a run around Ladybird Lake or hike on the Bull Creek greenbelt. We also enjoy weekend breakfast tacos at Taco Deli, pizza from Little Deli, and movies at Alamo Drafthouse.
