Sorensen have been selected for inclusion in Los Angeles Business Journal's 2025 Women of Influence: Attorneys.

Brum is a strong advocate for the advancement of women in the legal profession and was recognized for her mentorship of women attorneys when she received Snell & Wilmer's Mentor Award in 2021. She also advocates for diversity, equity, and inclusion in the legal profession, and served as Co-Chair of the firm's LGBTQ+ affinity group (SNELLGBTQ) until 2024.
