The Women in Business Law Awards is excited to announce that we are planning for a live awards ceremony for the 2021 Americas Awards

Thanks to the decreased Covid-19 threat in New York, the Women in Business Law Awards Americas is now planning for a live awards ceremony in September. To clear the way, the virtual awards ceremony planned for June 10 will be cancelled.

ITR and the WIBL awards team will be thrilled to be able to host you at:

Metropolitan Club | New York City

September 29th, 2021

Our team will be in touch with further information, however if you have any questions please contact John Harrison: john.harrison@legalmediagroup.com

If you would like to register your interest in attending the live ceremony, please contact Rebecca Synnott: Rebecca.synnott@euromoneyny.com

We look forward to seeing you live in September.

About the awards

The Women in Business Law Awards celebrates the efforts and achievements of law firms across the Americas in helping women to advance in the legal profession and spotlight the most impressive achievements by women lawyers from work completed during the review period. The awards aim to recognize not only the women who are leading their practice specialisms, but also those women that are emerging talents in their respective fields.
