Miami partner Mayte Peña, member of the firm’s Insurance practice group, has been selected as a 2025 Miami-Dade Bar Young Lawyers Section 40 Under 40 Award recipient.

The Miami Dade Bar Young Lawyers Section created the 40 Under 40 Award as a way to recognize young lawyers who often do the lion’s share of the work without public recognition. This year there were more than 150 nominations across all sections of Miami.

Awards will be distributed during the organization’s signature annual event – Miami Nights – taking place Thursday, February 27, at the Hotel Colonnade in Coral Gables. This event celebrates the impact the YLS has made on the legal community in Miami.
