On May 11, 2023, Wilson Sonsini associate Jaron Goddard was named among Puget Sound Business Journal's "Next Generation in Law" honorees for May 2023. The feature recognizes early- and mid-career attorneys that are making an impact in the legal industry and helping it evolve through client service, innovation, value initiatives, and leadership.

The accompanying profile highlights Jaron's work with U.S. Senator Patty Murray and contribution to bills that directed billions of dollars to renewable energy projects, such as the Inflation Reduction Act. Jaron's passion for the environment drives her work. She says, "While there are important technological advances that we still need to realize to combat the climate crisis, the technology the world needs to transition away from fossil fuels is here and much of it is mature and less expensive than fossil fuels, such as utility-scale solar. Our collective challenge, then, is how quickly we can deploy those technologies...some of the biggest hurdles to rapid deployment are legal and policy related issues, so lawyers will drive much of the necessary change."
