The Recorder is pleased to announce the 2018 Women Leaders in Tech Law.
Each year we recognize recent work by California-based lawyers who practice in the technology industry. As in prior years, the competition was fierce. We received more than 200 nominations from clients, firms, nonprofits and law schools.
For the first time, we are recognizing a group of Next Generation leaders, women in their first 10 years of practice who have shown promise as leaders in law and technology.
Editors picked 60 winners—30 Women Leaders in Tech Law and 30 Next Generation Leaders. These lawyers, through their work in courtrooms, boardrooms and classrooms, are helping the law and the legal profession address novel issues raised by technological advances.
Congratulations to all the winners!
Honorees will be featured on The Recorder website this fall and toasted at a reception in San Francisco on Nov. 14.

The case, filed Oct. 2 in Massachusetts District Court by the Brown Law Firm on behalf of Stephen Austen, accuses certain officers and directors of misleading investors in regard to Symbotic's potential for margin growth by failing to disclose that the company was not equipped to timely deploy its systems or manage expenses through project delays. The case, assigned to U.S. District Judge Nathaniel M. Gorton, is 1:24-cv-12522, Austen v. Cohen et al.
