GARDEN CITY, NY, UNITED STATES, September 15, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Jacqueline Newman, managing partner of Berkman Bottger Newman & Schein, one of the country’s largest matrimonial law firms, has been selected for inclusion in Long Island Business News’ 2026 Influencers in Law special editorial section. The publication announced the selection on September 11, 2026.
The Long Island Business Influencers program spotlights the professionals whose work shapes the region’s economy and communities. Those featured in this section do not apply for the distinction. Candidates are chosen via peer recommendation and by the Long Island Business News editorial team, which reviews the field and selects only those it judges to have made a measurable impact in their profession.
Founded in 1953, Long Island Business News is a weekly business journal covering business, government, legal, nonprofit and health care affairs across Nassau and Suffolk counties. Its Influencers editorial sections highlight professionals whose work and leadership are having a significant impact throughout the region.
Based in New York City, Newman’s practice includes litigation, collaborative law, mediation and complex high net worth matrimonial matters, with particular expertise in negotiating prenuptial agreements. Her clients often include business owners, entrepreneurs, executives, entertainers, public figures and their spouses.
Newman is the author of The New Rules of Divorce: Twelve Secrets to Protecting Your Wealth, Health and Happiness, published by Simon & Schuster in 2020. She has appeared as an expert commentator on television and radio programs and has been quoted extensively in a wide range of publications. At Cardozo School of Law, she serves as an adjunct professor teaching a course on divorce processes.
Chambers and Partners has selected Newman as a family and matrimonial attorney serving high net worth clients in New York. Thomson Reuters’ New York Metro Super Lawyers has selected her for distinctions including Top 50 Women Attorneys, Top 100 Lawyers and Top 5 Lawyers. Additional recognition has come from The Best Lawyers in America, Legal 500 and Doyles.
Beyond her practice, Newman founded the 2181 Alliance, an invitation-only national network of women managing partners dedicated to mentorship, leadership development and accelerating gender equity in law firm management well before the projected year 2181.
She also founded The Gift of Giving Store, a private charity that brings pop-up stores to domestic abuse shelters for Mother’s Day, where children can “purchase” gifts for their mothers using statements of self-love and affirmation.
