The law firm of Chamberlain, Hrdlicka, White, Williams & Aughtry is pleased to announce that attorney Elizabeth S. Fenton of the firm’s Philadelphia office has been named a finalist for “Attorney of the Year” in the 2014 Philadelphia SmartCEO Power Player Awards.

As a finalist, Fenton will be profiled in the September/October issue of SmartCEO magazine. Awards will be presented during a celebration at the National Museum of American Jewish History in Philadelphia on Sept. 11, 2014. 

“Beth’s selection as a finalist for ‘Attorney of the Year’ speaks well for our firm,” said Managing Shareholder Wayne A. Risoli. “At Chamberlain Hrdlicka, we already know that Beth is a top-flight attorney, but it is gratifying to see her acumen validated by the wider business community.”

Presented annually, SmartCEO magazine’s Power Players awards honor the most enterprising attorneys, bankers and accountants for their leadership, accomplishment, innovation and success. SmartCEO's editorial team evaluates the applications and chooses the Power Players based on the quality of nominations submitted.

In practice since 1998, Fenton litigates, arbitrates and tries cases involving business torts, joint venture dissolutions, and corporate governance disputes. Based on her experience litigating the boundaries of corporate and LLC limited liability, she publishes and speaks regularly on piercing the corporate veil and the doctrine’s interplay with the fiduciary duties of officers, directors and members. 

Fenton was named a 2014 Pennsylvania Super Lawyer by Thomson Reuters and is rated AV Preeminent by Martindale-Hubbell. She also serves as a co-chair of the Business Torts and Unfair Competition Committee of the American Bar Association Section of Litigation.
