The legal community gathered in Chicago last night to celebrate empowerment and diversity at the 3rd Annual Transformative Leadership Awards, which honor general counsel and law firm partners who have demonstrated a commitment to advancing women in corporate law.
Hundreds of guests, including in-house counsel, law firm lawyers, legal consultants and others, attended InsideCounsel's annual dinner, which took place at the new Radisson Blu Aqua hotel. InsideCounsel editor-in-chief Cathleen Flahardy and Michele Coleman Mayes, executive vice president, general counsel and chief legal officer of Allstate Insurance Co., co-chaired the event.
The Economic Empowerment Awards—Firm Wide Policies and Rainmaker—went to SNR Denton and Alston & Bird Partner Lawrie Demorest, respectively. Elliott Portnoy, global chief executive of SNR Denton, accepted the award on behalf of the firm and noted that women lead SNR Denton's offices worldwide, in places as far away as Almaty, Kazakhstan. “We're proud we don't have to look very far to find diversity [our clients] demand,” he said.
