Sheila Boston Receives Honors at NBA Centennial Convention

Arnold & Porter partner Sheila S. Boston was recognized as one of the National Bar Association’s (NBA) “Centennial Lawyers of Distinction,” selected by the Women’s Law Division as a nominee in the “Outstanding Minority Partner in Majority Firm” category, and received a “2025 Presidential Award” from outgoing NBA President Wiley Adams at the NBA Centennial Convention in Chicago.

A seasoned trial lawyer and litigation strategist, Boston has built a distinguished career in product liability, mass torts, and complex commercial litigation. These are the most recent accolades for Boston, who earlier this year was named one of the “57 Most Influential Black Lawyers in the Northeast” by the Northeast Black Law Students Association (NEBLSA), and in 2024 was recognized with the “Justice Award” by Justice in Aging for her outstanding pro bono work.
