Jessica Shrestha Named to the 2026 Women in the Law List

Fredrikson shareholder Jessica J. Shrestha has been named to the 2026 Women in the Law list by Wisconsin Law Journal. The list honors exceptional women in the Wisconsin law community.

“Jessica is a recognized leader in real estate and energy law who is known for the high caliber of her work,” Fredrikson president Melodie R. Rose said. “Clients and colleagues alike rely on her sound insight and judgement.”

Shrestha’s work includes leading major utility real estate projects, resolving title issues and handling easement and right-of-way transactions. She serves as general counsel for more than half a dozen distribution electric cooperatives, acting as a trusted advisor to the groups and helping them navigate legal, organizational and business matters.

Additionally, she is a frequent speaker and author for organizations like the State Bar of Wisconsin, the Wisconsin Society of Land Surveyors and the Wisconsin Electric Cooperative Association.

Shrestha and all 2026 Women in the Law honorees will be celebrated at an April 23 event.
