Bonnie A. Barnett and Audrey C. Talley named as Women Leaders in Legal Profession

Drinker Biddle Partners Bonnie A. Barnett, of the Environmental Law Practice, and Audrey C. Talley, of the Investment Management Group, were named Women Leaders in a special supplement to The Legal Intelligencer and Pennsylvania Law Weekly. The supplement, "Women in the Profession," recognized 56 women who are leaders in their respective fields.

Ms. Barnett was the only woman honored for her work in the Environmental practice area, while Ms. Talley was one of only five women selected in the Business & Finance category. They were selected as leaders in their practice areas from among the thousands of women lawyers across Pennsylvania.

The selections were limited to leaders in specific practice areas. Nominations were solicited from lawyers in the 100 largest law firms, readers of The Legal Intelligencer and Pennsylvania Law Weekly, and bar associations throughout the state. The staff at American Lawyer Media also conducted research to narrow the field.
