Law360 Names Top Female Trial Attorneys

Law360 brings you a new series on female trial attorneys who have pushed the boundaries in a male-dominated field to rank among the best litigators in the business.

Law360's Top Female Trial Attorneys series profiles 15 lawyers whose courtroom accomplishments prove that women are up to the task — and then some — when it comes to taking on the toughest issues and trying bet-the-company cases.

Hailing from elite firms such as Latham & Watkins, Reed Smith, and Fish & Richardson, our winners obliterate old gender stereotypes, showing that for all the tenacity, stamina, and prowess required for big trials, it doesn't take a Y chromosome to excel.

Law360 received nearly 100 nominations for the series, and the winners have notched victories for high-profile clients such as Microsoft, Swiss Re, and R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Co.

The profiles will run over the next few weeks. Law360 congratulates the winners on their achievements, and thanks all the firms who sent in nominations for the series.
