Jenner & Block Special Counsel Camillie Landrón and Carla J. Weiss were recognized by Law360 as 2021 “Rising Stars” in the Telecommunications and Government Contracts and Grants categories, respectively. Rising to the top of more than 1,400 submissions, they join 180 lawyers under the age of 40 whose “legal accomplishments transcend their age.”
Ms. Landrón is one of four lawyers recognized in the Telecommunications category. In its profile, Law360 noted her work helping Charter Communications apply to the FCC's $20.4 billion Rural Digital Opportunity Fund, which funds projects that increase broadband access. Ms. Landrón also told Law360 that she is hopeful that the legal industry will become more diverse and inclusive over the next decade. “I think that people are finally starting to acknowledge that giving opportunities to people with different backgrounds and experiences is both the right thing to do, period, but also the right thing to do to get the best possible results, which is what we're all aiming for," she said.
Ms. Weiss is one of five lawyers honored in the Government Contracts and Grants category. In its profile of Ms. Weiss, Law360 highlighted her role in a case that reshaped the contracting landscape for veteran-owned companies before helping a veteran-owned firm secure a major contract win. Ms. Weiss also encouraged new practitioners to consider doing government contracts work, where legal teams tend to be smaller and young lawyers often get to take on high levels of responsibility early in their careers.
"It's actually a remarkable way to do a lot of really high-quality work, really quickly, that's going to be incredibly gratifying," she told Law360.
