In recognition of Women’s History Month, we proudly present the fifth annual New York’s Women Leaders in the Law. More and more firms, such as those featured in this section, are making the commitment to hiring and retaining women attorneys. Their dedication to these efforts and the women featured in this section are both noteworthy and needed. Should you ever need representation, the women profiled here all excel in their fields, and one may be the right attorney for you.
