Benchmark Litigation Names Three Hunton Andrews Kurth Partners to its 2024 Top 250 Women in Litigation

Hunton Andrews Kurth LLP partners Shannon Broome, Cassandra (Sandy) Collins and Lorelie S. Masters have been named to Benchmark Litigation’s 2024 Top 250 Women in Litigation. The publication honors the accomplishments and distinguished careers of female litigators nationwide and recognizes them as top players in their respective fields.

Honorees in the Top 250 Women in Litigation publication have earned their place amongst the leading female litigators by participating in some of the most impactful litigation matters in recent history as well as by earning the hard-won respect of their peers and clients.

Benchmark Litigation recognized Broome for the third straight year, noting, “Shannon Broome leads the environmental practice group of Hunton Andrews Kurth from the firm’s San Francisco and Washington, DC offices. As an authority on global climate change matters, she is often tapped to handle enforcement, environmental incident responses, permits, and regulatory advocacy and defense. Broome has recently been engaged in climate change related environmental litigation on behalf of one of the leading oil and gas distributors. The mass tort litigation involves lawsuits filed across the US.”

Benchmark continued to write, “Richmond-based commercial litigator Cassandra Collins of Hunton Andrews Kurth specializes in energy and construction litigation and serves as co-lead of the firm’s practice group. Her specialization allows her to provide clients with industry expertise and business-focus that minimizes representation costs for clients enduring complex litigation. Part of Collins’ effectiveness as a litigator is her ability to obtain settlements for clients that are critical to her clients’ businesses.” This is the 10^th consecutive year Collins has been named to the list.

Furthermore, Benchmark highlighted, “Lorelie Masters operates from the firm’s DC office. She is nationally recognized as an authority in the insurance litigation space, acting on behalf of policyholders across a spectrum of areas ranging from property to cyber security.” This is Masters’ 11^th time being recognized by Benchmark among the Top 250 Women in Litigation, and the publication has also named her a Litigation Star for eight consecutive years.
