LONDON – 15 March 2024 – Fiona Adams, managing shareholder of Greenberg Traurig, LLP’s London office and co-chair of the firm’s Global Corporate Practice, has won a hat-trick of legal leadership awards in six months, culminating in her award for Law Firm Leader of the Year: Large Practice at Global Legal Post’s Women & Diversity in Law Awards in London 13 March.
In addition, Adams was named Legal Leader of the Year at Law.com International’s Women, Influence & Power in Law UK Awards 6 March, and on 17 September 2023 was awarded Management Partner of the Year at the Legal Business Awards for being “a role model for excellence and ethical behaviour.”
In honouring Adams, Global Legal Post said, “Greenberg Traurig’s London office managing partner Fiona Adams was crowned the Law Firm Leader of the Year – Large Practice for her efforts in helping the firm achieve significant DE&I milestones in the UK. Those included relaunching Greenberg Traurig’s DE&I strategy, its ranking in the top 10 of UK firms with the highest proportion of state school-educated lawyers, and overhauling its graduate recruitment strategy to open the programme to more diverse candidates. She was also a driving force behind the firm becoming an inaugural member of InterLaw Diversity Forum’s UK Model Diversity Survey and has led several mental wellbeing initiatives.
“Described as one of just a handful of women M&A rainmakers in London, Fiona is also the firm’s global corporate co-chair and a member of its executive committee. She entered the Legal 500 Hall of Fame for the M&A (£100m-£750m) category this year – currently making her the only female to achieve this status.”
