Idaho Business Review IBR
The Idaho Business Review Leaders in Law program is in its seventh year. File photo.
The votes are in, and an elite group of legal professionals has risen above the rest in areas of leadership, professional achievements, mentorship and community service.
These men and women come from small private firms, large firms, private companies and even the bench, and they are the 2019 Idaho Business Review Leaders in Law. They represent both attorneys and support staff, in seven categories.
During the last few weeks, former award winners reviewed applications and letters of recommendation submitted by nominees. Nominations are open year round, and this year 44 professionals were endorsed for consideration.
In the end, 17 men and women, including one Lifetime Achievement Award winner, stood out in the rankings.
The 2019 Leaders in Law will be profiled in a special publication, which will be distributed with the Idaho Business Review on Nov. 15, following an awards ceremony at Eighth & Main on Nov. 14 at 5:30 p.m. Tickets for the event are available now!
