Stinson Leonard Street LLP attorney Sharon Ng has been selected as the recipient of the Asian Corporate & Entrepreneur Leaders 2015 Corporate Leader Award.

Ng and others were recognized at ACEL's recent 2016 Leadership Gala at the Double Tree Resort by Hilton Hotel Paradise Valley in Scottsdale, Ariz.

Sharon has handled labor and employment disputes, civil rights actions, appellate work, and arbitrations before the American Arbitration Association. She has also successfully prosecuted and defended Native American tribes' and tribal entities' interests in tribal courts across Arizona.

Sharon is an Arizona native who has consistently served the local community. She is currently the chair of the State Bar of Arizona Committee on Minorities and Women in the Law. She is also a Judge pro tem for the Superior Court of Maricopa County, Arizona and a Court Appointed Special Advocate ("CASA") where she represents the best interests of local Arizona children.
