This year’s list of Women Leaders in Tech Law includes 28 women from large and boutique law firms, 19 from in-house departments at some of the region’s most-watched companies, a pair of academics, and one government official.

The honorees were chosen by editors of The Recorder based on their recent accomplishments and because they’ve demonstrated the ability to lead. These are the women who lead litigation and deals; who lead in-house teams and firm practice groups; who are thought leaders; and who lead the way for other women seeking roles in the region’s most dynamic sector.
