Corporate Counsel has issued a call for nominations for the 2024 Women, Influence & Power in Law Awards. These prestigious awards aim to honor North American general counsel and law firm partners who have shown an unwavering commitment to advancing the empowerment of women in law. These legal professionals transcend a mere job title as they are recognized not only for their capabilities as exceptional lawyers and shrewd business strategists, but for their profound influence as compassionate leaders within their teams. The original announcement underscores that the focus is firmly on collective success rather than individual accomplishment.
For those interested in making a nomination, the deadline is set for June 7. While it’s permissible for a firm or company to nominate multiple candidates, it should be noted that each nominee can ultimately only win in one category. If you are nominating an individual for multiple categories, ensure you complete a separate submission for each.
The awards span both the Law Firm and In-House sectors. Categories in the Law Firm Awards include: Ally of the Year, Collaborative Leadership, Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Champion, Innovative Leaders, Lifetime Achievement, Managing Partner of the Year, Mental Health & Well Being Initiative, Mentor & Mentee Collaboration, and Thought Leadership.
Simultaneously, the In-House Awards echo many of the same categories, with awards for Ally of the Year, Collaborative Leadership, Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Champion, In-House Legal Operations, Innovative Leaders, Lifetime Achievement, General Counsel of the Year, Mental Health & Well Being Initiative, Mentor & Mentee Collaboration and Thought Leadership.
