The New Jersey Law Journal is pleased to announce that the following attorneys have been named this year's Women Attorneys of the Year. This award recognizes attorneys who made an impact in the profession in the past two years. Whether they resolved a significant case or transaction, led a department through a difficult stretch, or helped change policy, these attorneys left their mark on the New Jersey legal landscape.
