The Recorder has named Rachel Krevans, Susan Mac Cormac, Mika Mayer, Catherine Polizzi and Tessa Schwartz to its 2013 Women Leaders in Tech Law list, which recognizes 50 women, including nine in-house lawyers, who have "demonstrated leadership and expertise in solving the most pressing legal concerns tech companies can face." With five lawyers on the list, MoFo tied for top spot in terms of the number of women selected. "These are the lawyers who get the call for that first, crucial funding round, the patent dispute only scientists can understand, the licensing-as-lifeline deal, the long-sought liquidity event," said Recorder editor-in-chief Greg Mitchell.
The winners have been profiled in a special print and digital report and will be honored at a Sept. 25 reception.
