WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (November 21, 2019) – Gunster, one of Florida’s oldest and largest full-service business law firms, is pleased to announce shareholder Linda Conahan received the Corporate Council Leadership Award given by the Greater Fort Lauderdale Alliance.
The award was presented at the Alliance Annual Dinner last month. It recognizes an individual who has gone above and beyond in their work in the community helping to grow jobs and strengthen the economy.
Conahan is a trailblazer in the legal industry, a pioneer for women in the courtroom and an engaged business leader for Broward County. Her commitment and leadership, both in the workplace and community, are unparalleled.
