SAN FRANCISCO The Recorder is delighted to announce the 2017 Women Leaders in Tech Law. This marks the seventh year for the annual program, which recognizes recent outstanding work by California-based lawyers whose practices focus on technology companies and issues. As in the prior six go-rounds, competition was intense. We received more than 100 nominations from a variety of sources: clients, firms, universities and colleagues.
Editors selected 65 winners. These lawyers handled deals that are reshaping the industry, cases that are setting new precedent, and navigated what can best be called a murky regulatory environment. Congratulations to all the winners.
Honorees will be featured on The Recorder website this fall and toasted at a reception in San Francisco on Oct. 5.
