It goes without saying that all the women in this slideshow are top-notch lawyers, but why they are being profiled is because they are also incredible people-leaders and motivators.They are mentors, innovators, and transformative forces within their organizations. These profiles take a look at their career paths, what leadership advice they have received, and what they wish they knew as a baby lawyer. Each one of these women is being recognized for demonstrating a commitment to advancing the empowerment of women in law--both from the corporate side and firm side. Congratulations again to these remarkable women leaders.
