Ms. Stewart served as Murtha Cullina’s Litigation Department Chair from 1998 through 2006 and as the Firm’s Managing Partner from 2009 through 2014, the first woman to hold either position. “Elizabeth has had a remarkable career. She is a brilliant trial lawyer, who has also devoted her time and talents to the bar and the community,” commented Jennifer Morgan DelMonico, Managing Partner of Murtha Cullina. “Elizabeth has mentored other attorneys – particularly women – to develop their potential, and has served as a role model and inspiration to so many of us.” . Ms. Stewart and the other award recipients will be honored at a ceremony on May 25, 2016 at the Bond Ballroom in Hartford.
