From Cardozo Life: A Boutique Startup that Balances Creativity with Flexibility
Founding and serving as a managing partner at her own boutique law firm—ESCA—was not something that Francesca Witzburg ’14 planned during or immediately after her years in law school. She aspired to pursue a career in big law and eventually make partner.
“I realized my husband and I were in a really good position to be able to build a business that is a more modern, next-generation law firm,” Witzburg said. “We started growing our family at the same time, and it has been convenient to be able to raise a family and build a business.”
In 2023, Witzburg founded ESCA with her husband, Adam Witzburg, who took on the role of chief operating officer. She said it was “enticing” to start something from scratch.
