Thomas P. Lambert and Laura A. Penney, partners at FLB Law in Westport, have been named honorees of the 2022 annual Connecticut Legal Awards presented by the “Connecticut Law Tribune.”
Lambert and Penney will be among the 80-plus winners from 45 firms who will be honored in 13 categories at the awards dinner Wednesday, May 11, at the Aqua Turf Club. Lambert is one of three finalists in the Best Mentor category, and Penney has been named to the 2022 class of New Leaders in the Law.
Mentoring for Lambert became a serious undertaking while serving as chair of the associates and partner advancement committees of his former firm. He recognized the need for a system and created one at FLB Law. Over the past 20 years, Lambert counts at least 15 attorneys he mentored from the beginning of their careers through promotion to partner, and another 50 he materially helped advance in their careers.
Penney is a skilled civil litigator, who was promoted to partner in 2021, after less than a decade in practice. She primarily handles matters involving premises liability, auto liability, professional liability, condominium law, contract law, insurance coverage, employment discrimination and construction defects.
