NEW YORK, March 30, 2023 – Proskauer, a leading international law firm, is proud to announce that partner Monica Arora has been named to The Deal’s Top Women in Deal Making list. The annual list features top female lawyers who have shown the ability to navigate complex transactions, maintain strong client relationships and lead in and out of the boardroom.
Monica was recognized for her work advising JLC Infrastructure, including on their headline-grabbing investment in the New Terminal One project at JFK International Airport. The $9.5 billion project will result in a 23-gate, 2.4 million square feet, sustainably designed terminal.
As co-head of Proskauer’s Private Investment Funds (PIF) group – one of the Firm’s largest practices – Monica is one of the most sought-after private investment fund attorneys in the country. She represents global asset managers across the full spectrum of investment fund matters, from large investment firms to start ups. Over the course of her career, she has led billion dollar fundraises and transactions for some of the most prominent names in the asset management industry.
In 2022, Monica helped launch funds in excess of $10 billion with a focus on buyout, growth, private credit and infrastructure, including impact investments targeting renewable power and climate change in Latin America.
In addition to her role as co-head of the Firm’s PIF group, Monica has held several leadership roles throughout the Firm, including with the Women’s Sponsorship Program, Mentoring Circle Program, Hiring & Promotions Committees, and Diversity Task Force, where she has championed diverse attorneys and reinforced DEI as a priority for Proskauer. Monica is also a board member of Her Justice, a non-profit providing legal services to women in poverty.
