This Women’s History Month, we proudly celebrate Kelly Longwell — founding member of Longwell Riess, L.L.C. and a nationally recognized leader in affordable housing and community development law.

For more than two decades, Kelly has helped shape communities through complex public-private partnerships, tax credit financing, and mission-driven development. But her impact extends far beyond transactions.

As a certified women-owned firm, Longwell Riess stands as a reflection of leadership, excellence, and quiet courage — the kind that opens doors for others simply by walking through them first.

Kelly shared this reflection: “𝘞𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘸𝘦 𝘧𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘥 𝘓𝘰𝘯𝘨𝘸𝘦𝘭𝘭 𝘙𝘪𝘦𝘴𝘴, 𝘐 𝘥𝘪𝘥𝘯’𝘵 𝘴𝘦𝘵 𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘵𝘰 𝘮𝘢𝘬𝘦 𝘢 𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘢𝘣𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘣𝘦𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘸𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘯-𝘰𝘸𝘯𝘦𝘥 — 𝘐 𝘴𝘦𝘵 𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘵𝘰 𝘣𝘶𝘪𝘭𝘥 𝘢𝘯 𝘦𝘹𝘤𝘦𝘭𝘭𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘧𝘪𝘳𝘮.

Visibility matters. Leadership matters. Representation matters.

This month, and every month, we celebrate the women who build, lead, and lift others as they rise.

Celebrating Women’s History Month 🌟

At Longwell Riess, L.L.C., Women’s History Month holds special meaning. As a certified women-owned law firm, we are proud to stand on the shoulders of the women who paved the way in law, finance, housing, and community development — and equally proud to be building pathways for those who follow.

Our firm was founded on the belief that excellence, leadership, and impact are strengthened by diverse voices at the table. Every day, we work alongside developers, housing authorities, investors, and community partners to create equitable, lasting change — proving that women-led businesses are not only powerful, but transformational.

This month, we celebrate the trailblazers who opened doors, the leaders who continue to break barriers, and the next generation of women shaping the future of affordable housing and community development.

Here’s to progress. Here’s to partnership. Here’s to women who lead with purpose.
