Crain’s Recognizes Dorit Ungar Black on 2020 Notable Women in Law List

New York—Dorit Ungar Black, a founding partner of Holwell Shuster & Goldberg LLP, has been named to Crain’s New York Business’ 2020 Notable Women in Law list. According to Crain’s, this year’s list recognizes 100 “dedicated, gifted and determined female lawyers” from the New York City metro area.
