Lorie is widely recognized for both her leadership and her legal practice. She was named Managing Partner of the Year by The American Lawyer’s Women, Influence & Power in Law Awards (2025) and was a finalist for the same honor at The American Lawyer Industry Awards that year (ALM). The New York chapter of the Coalition of Women’s Initiatives of Law honored Lorie with its 2023 Inspiration Award.

As an employment lawyer, Lorie is consistently ranked by Chambers USA, The Legal 500, and The Best Lawyers in America, and has appeared on Lawdragon’s list of the 500 Leading Lawyers in America every year since 2015. In 2026, Forbes named her among both “America’s Top Lawyers” and “America’s Top Women Lawyers.” She has also been selected as a BTI Client Services All-Star and included repeatedly among Crain’s New York Business’s Notable Women in Law.

Recognition of Lorie’s work began early in her career. The National Law Journal named her among its “40 Under 40” lawyers, and The American Lawyer twice listed her among the leading “45 Under 45” women lawyers in the Am Law 200 (ALM). She was also named to the NACD Directorship 100. In her first full year of practice, while representing the City of New York, she was honored as “Legal Rookie of the Year” for her work litigating significant constitutional and federal questions.

Lorie is also a leading voice in the legal industry on the forces reshaping the profession. She serves on the Advisory Board of the Harvard Law School Center on the Legal Profession and is a frequent speaker on these issues. Her 2026 Thomson Reuters Institute article, “Designing Lawyers: Attorney Growth in the Age of AI-Fueled Practice,” examines how AI is reshaping the development of lawyers and the skills and judgment the profession will require.

Advancing opportunity within the legal profession has been a longstanding commitment for Lorie, including through her active engagement with the Leadership Council on Legal Diversity. That engagement contributed to Seyfarth’s recognition with LCLD’s 2026 Compass Award and Top Performer designation.

Lorie also has a longstanding commitment to public service. She serves on the board of directors of Jumpstart, one of the nation's most respected nonprofit organizations focused on early childhood education, as well as the Christine M. Loeber Foundation, which supports veterans’ mental health initiatives, and received Seyfarth's "Inspirational Leadership Award" in recognition of her work with the organization and her commitment to community service.
