What makes a Precedent Setter?
In a word: Excellence. Each year, the Precedent Setter Awards recognize six excellent lawyers in their first ten years of practice. These winners do things differently from the rest, taking chances out of the gate to become leaders in their practice areas and their communities.
Theyre the lawyers we envy an advocate challenging the way the courts view the mentally ill, an M&A superstar, the Supreme Court Chief Justices right-hand woman, a dynamite litigator, a zealous entrepreneur and a collaborator merging health and law.
Precedent is proud to shine a light on these young stars. Their passion and hard-won experience proves that lawyers dont have to be 25 years out of law school to make a mark on the world.
Meet the best of the new generation.
