MINNEAPOLIS, MN—June 7, 2017—Profiles in Diversity Journal has named Robins Kaplan LLP^® partner Stacey Slaughter to its 2017 “Women Worth Watching” list. This award recognizes women pioneers who are forging ahead with global acclaim in strategies that are making a difference in their workplaces and communities.

Throughout her career, Slaughter has represented businesses, organizations, institutional investors, shareholders, and brokers facing significant commercial disputes, complex business problems, and novel legal issues.
