Meet the 12 extraordinary lawyers ready to rise to leadership positions.


Lawyers like Nadira Clarke, leader of Beveridge & Diamond’s white-collar defense and environmental crimes practice group, prove the legal profession has a very bright future ahead. Whether she’s working on high stakes and complex criminal matter involving the environment, or a pro bono and cutting-edge case to further the rights of transgendered people, she works hard to execute her job flawlessly.


The Minority Corporate Counsel Association has selected Clarke, and 11 other extraordinary lawyers as 12 people whose accomplishments and dedication will catapult them into leadership positions in the years to come and set the standards for excellence in the legal world.


All 12 have impressive achievements already as well as a commitment to diversity and inclusion in the legal professional.


Nadira Clarke, featured on this issue’s cover and one of our 12 rising stars, is a shining example of a lawyer who has built a successful practice.
