LONDON – March 11, 2024 – Fiona Adams, managing shareholder of Greenberg Traurig, LLP’s London office and co-chair of the firm’s Global Corporate Practice, has been named Legal Leader of the Year at Law.com International’s Women, Influence & Power in Law (WIPL) UK Awards in London.
The WIPL UK Awards honour top female lawyers who “have made a remarkable difference in the legal profession.” This year’s judging panel included senior representatives from Benefex, BT Group, Equitura, Hexcel Corporation, McGee, Onfido, and The Royal Bank of Scotland.
Adams’ award follows her success at the Legal Business Awards in September 2023, where she was named Management Partner of the Year for being “a role model for excellence and ethical behaviour.” As London managing shareholder, she has been instrumental in ensuring the local alignment of Greenberg Traurig’s firmwide growth strategy and core values.
Adams is also highly recommended by the legal directories. In Legal 500 2024, she attained “Hall of Fame” status in the Mergers & Acquisitions (M&A) (£100M-£750M) category, one of only seven lawyers and currently the only female to achieve this status, and for the past 14 years she has ranked in the Corporate/M&A chapter of Chambers UK, reaching Band 2 in 2024.
