“I am pleased to be recognized as a standout female professional in this area,” said Avergun. “Over the years I have seen an evolution of women white-collar professionals, who are getting and winning the big cases, and increasingly being recognized for the skills and attributes that women bring to advising their clients. I am especially proud that there is such a widely diverse and highly talented field of women from which GIR had to choose for inclusion in this survey.”
