Fox Rothschild congratulates Deana A. Labriola, who was named a 2024 “Leader in the Law” by North Carolina Lawyers Weekly.
The annual award honors lawyers who are “setting the standard” for others in the industry and that have made “outstanding contributions to the practice of law in North Carolina.” This includes professional success, but also those that routinely go above and beyond to act as role models and mentors and make essential contributions to North Carolina’s legal community and/or community at large.
Labriola, a partner in the Corporate Department in Raleigh, NC, centers her practice on working with founders, owners and managers as outside general counsel to a variety of privately-held middle market businesses around the United States. She also routinely serves as lead counsel to sellers and buyers in mergers, acquisitions and debt and equity financing deals ranging from $5m to $250m.
Active in the Triangle business community and beyond, Labriola is a board member of the YMCA of the Triangle and most recently chaired its strategic planning committee. She also serves as an active member of the Board of Directors of USA Climbing, which is the national governing body for the sport of competitive rock climbing (youth, elite, collegiate and paraclimbing) throughout the United States. She also sits on the Triangle Chapter of the American Heart Association’s Board of Directors.
Labriola frequently mentors attorneys inside and outside the firm, and also serves as a mentor for the Triangle Business Journal’s annual Mentoring Monday program, aimed to provide connections and advice to regional businesswomen about career development and success.
Fox Rothschild looks forward to celebrating Labriola and the other honorees during North Carolina Lawyers Weekly’s presentation event on April 25th in Raleigh.
