Corporate Counsel and InsideCounsel are pleased to announce our honorees for our 2019 Women, Influence & Power in Law Awards (formerly known as the National Women in Law Awards). These awards honor general counsel, in-house leaders and law firm partners who have demonstrated a commitment to advancing the empowerment of women in law. These outstanding women are set to be recognized at an awards dinner Oct. 16 as part of our Women, Influence & Power in Law Conference in Washington, D.C.
With these awards, we want to spotlight North American women in-house and law firm leaders who have demonstrated extraordinary leadership and business acumen. These women are business strategists, complex problem-solvers, and of course, great lawyers. But what particularly makes these women stand out is their personal dedication to the promotion of diversity in the legal industry. These are women championing women!
Our WIPL awards recognize legal department leaders in the following industries: Banking & Finance; Insurance; Manufacturing & Chemicals; Technology, Media & Telecom; and Retail & Consumer Goods. We also are highlighting extraordinary leadership by recognizing female general counsel and law firm partners in the following categories: Innovative Leadership; Thought Leadership; Collaborative Leadership; Women's Legal Awards, General Counsel of the Year or Managing Partner of the Year; and Lifetime Achievement.
Profiles of the below honorees will run in the December issue of Corporate Counsel magazine. Congrats to all the amazing women on this list!
