2018 Daily Business Review Professional Excellence Awards
Distinguished Leaders
Open to Law Firms With Up To 200 Attorneys
Deadline March 1
This award recognizes lawyers who achieved impressive results in 2017 and demonstrated clear leadership skills that helped them achieve those results. That could be a litigation team leader winning a notable case against unfavorable odds, a managing partner who helped the firm negotiate a key acquisition, a judge who oversaw a large mass tort program, a public interest attorney who helped pass legislation or in-house counsel who revamped the legal department. Strong leaders are hard to come by, and the award is about highlighting South Florida lawyers who demonstrated great performances as well as valuable leadership skills while doing it. An essay of up to 500 words should describe the leader's role in achieving noteworthy results. Please contact DBR Managing Editor Catherine Wilson at [email protected] with any questions.
Please send nominations by email to [email protected] by March 1.
