Every year in the 2nd Quarter issue, Corporate Board Member releases its annual list of the best corporate law firms in America. This list identifies the top 20 firms nationally as selected by the directors and general counsel of publicly traded companies listed on NYSE Euronext, NASDAQ OMX, and NYSE Amex stock exchanges. In addition to saluting the top corporate law firms across America, we highlight active General Counsel who have made significant strides in helping their boards and companies succeed.
Along with this special coverage in the magazine, each featured General Counsel along with the top 20 law firms were honored at our third annual Legal Recognition Dinner held Tuesday, May 11, 2010, at the Grand Hyatt in New York City. At the dinner, the magazine recognized 5 top General Counsel and 10 GCs to Watch, presented a lifetime recognition award to former general counsel of Bethlehem Steel Corp, Curtis H. Barnette, and saluted the top 20 law firms as identified in the annual survey.
The 3rd Annual Legal Recognition Dinner benefited Lawyers Without Borders, which provides pro bono legal service to international projects and initiatives in the human rights and global capacity building sectors.
