Colleagues Vote Gershanik, Nobles, & Schilling Among New Orleans Magazine’s 2025 Top Women in Law

Fellow attorneys in the New Orleans area have voted Maureen Gershanik, Blair Schilling, and Cherie Nobles on to New Orleans Magazine’s inaugural Top Women in Law list for 2025. Attorneys were allowed to recommend up to three female colleagues (not including themselves) in a wide range of legal specialties. Click here to see who made New Orleans Magazine’s first-ever Top Women in Law list.

Maureen, a partner in the firm’s Business Section, is one of only two female attorneys featured in both the Mergers and Acquisitions Law and Securities/Capital Markets Law practice areas. Blair, a partner in the firm’s Litigation Section, is among the top three women in the Environmental Law practice area. Cherie, special counsel in the firm’s Litigation Section, is also recognized among the top three Bankruptcy and Creditor Debtor/Insolvency and Reorganization Law attorneys in the area.

Detroit-based Professional Research Services (PRS) oversaw the voting process, which was open to all licensed attorneys in the New Orleans area. After online nominations ended, nominees were then vetted based on survey results, the legitimacy of their licenses, and their current standing with the Louisiana State Bar Association. Those attorneys receiving the highest number of votes in each specialty are featured on the list.
