HSPRD is proud to announce Shareholder Lori L. Deem was recognized as one of the 2025 Women in Law honorees by Law Bulletin Media and Chicago Lawyer Magazine. This prestigious award celebrates influential female attorneys who demonstrate exceptional leadership, meaningful mentorship, and significant contributions to the legal profession. Lori accepted her award during a ceremony on Wednesday, November 19, 2025.

The Women in Law awards spotlight attorneys who advance women in the legal community, achieve notable professional success, and uphold the highest standards of integrity and excellence. The Law Bulletin Media selection committee evaluates and selects honorees based on their leadership impact, dedication to mentoring other women, and measurable achievements within the legal field.
The annual list features leaders from a wide range of practice areas and sectors, including law firms, nonprofit organizations, government agencies, health care institutions, private and public companies, and other professional environments. The upcoming issue of Chicago Lawyer will profile these exceptional leaders as part of the publication’s fifth annual Women in Law Awards: Women Leaning In.
Lori has built a distinguished career advocating for employees in complex workplace matters and promoting fairness and accountability across organizations.
HSPRD also proudly recognizes Shareholder Deane Brown, who earned the same honor in 2020, further demonstrating the firm’s strong representation among influential women leaders in the legal profession.
We congratulate Lori on this well-deserved recognition and celebrate her continued leadership, integrity, and commitment to advancing the legal community.
