NEW YORK—Holwell Shuster & Goldberg LLP announced today that Lawyer Monthly Women in Law Awards 2016 has named co-founding partner Dorit Ungar Black the U.S. Boutique Lawyer of the Year. The Lawyer Monthly Women in Law Awards celebrate and highlight the achievements of women in the legal profession across the globe who have influenced the wider legal profession in their jurisdiction.
