We are excited to welcome back Regina Loayza as one of our 2026 summer associates!

Regina’s connection to Porter Wright began in high school, when she first learned about the firm’s dedication to community engagement. As a Latina and an immigrant, she has a personal understanding of the systemic challenges that can disproportionately affect communities like her own, making service deeply meaningful to her. Driven by a desire to advocate for underrepresented voices and create lasting change, Regina was inspired to pursue a career in law.

When she’s not working or in school, Regina is a proud puppy and plant parent with over 20 plants at home!

Welcome back, Regina!
