11th annual awards announces winners

On June 9th 2022, we were thrilled to host the first Women in Business Law Awards gala celebration, since 2019, at the Lotte New York Palace with guests joining us from across the Americas.

The gala ceremony saw the culmination of months of research into the America’s leading women attorneys and law firm initiatives, having drawn upon firm submissions and client feedback from throughout the region. These awards aim to recognise complex and innovative firm initiatives that promote women in law and the leading women practitioners from over 30 practice area specialisms.

A big congratulations to all the winners and the shortlisted nominees!
