Professional Excellence 2019
I want to get straight to the point this year: Thank you.
Despite the wealth of institutional knowledge we have on our staff—not to mention the familiarity that comes with covering the Pennsylvania legal community on a daily basis—we still rely heavily on all of you to help us ensure that when it comes time each year to honor standout work in the profession, we're recognizing the very best.
This year, the response we received to our request for nominations was overwhelming and the work highlighted in your submissions was of consistently high quality, giving us more to choose from and making it harder than ever to narrow down the winners.
Our goal each year is to put the spotlight on attorneys whose work made an impact: in the legal or broader Pennsylvania community, or even just in their individual clients' lives or businesses.
While that work spans a wide range of practices and disciplines, the common thread woven through every attorney and group that we recognize is a commitment to excellence.
Within these pages you'll find Q&As with many of our winners, and we think you'll find the insights and advice they provide to be valuable to attorneys at all stages of their careers.
Please join us in congratulating our 2019 Professional Excellence Award winners.
