Gardere partner Kimberly Yelkin will be a co-recipient of InsideCounsel magazine’s “Sharing the Power Award” as part of its 2nd Annual Transformative Leadership Awards West progam. The award is presented jointly to a female general counsel and a female law firm partner who have collaborated to increase the economic empowerment of one or more female partners in that firm.
“It is an honor to the firm for Kim to receive this award alongside one of our valuable clients,” Gardere Chair Holland O’Neil said in a statement. “Through her leadership, Kim has demonstrated a commitment to advancing the empowerment of women in corporate law. She is an embodiment of the significance of this award.”
Yelkin, chair of the firm’s government affairs practice group, will receive her award alongside one of her clients Sally Narey, general counsel of Fireman’s Fund Insurance. Winners were selected by a national awards committee comprised of general counsel and partners. The award will be presented at a gala dinner and reception on Oct. 17 in San Francisco.
