Publisher’s Letter

The Los Angeles Business Journal was proud to host our inaugural Top 100 Lawyers Awards event on the evening of May 12th at ASU California Center. This exciting event shone the spotlight on the region’s outstanding legal community by recognizing Los Angeles’ top 100 lawyers for their legal achievements, community involvement and impacts on the profession. In addition, we also presented several specialty awards to those who continue to excel in profession in unique and impactful ways.

Considering the fact that the Los Angeles region has long been known for its status as a hub for legal though leaders and record-setting attorneys, being a standout in that field is particularly impressive.

After 11 years, we at the Los Angeles Business Journal decided to restructure our Leaders in Law event. We will now honor our esteemed Best regards, Los Angeles legal professionals in two different ways moving forward, this Top 100 Lawyers event and a Corporate Counsel Awards event in October.

The 100 lawyers listed throughout this section have demonstrated exceptional legal skill and achievements across the full spectrum of responsibility, exemplary leadership and contributions to the Los Angeles community at large.

In the following pages we share biographical information on these legal thought leaders and shed some additional light on some of the premier examples of business law practitioners among us today.

We hope you enjoy this special section, which contains some unique insights on what exactly it means to be a leading attorney in today’s business climate.
