Dear Reader:
L.A. Times B2B Publishing is excited to present our second annual Business of Law magazine, covering trends and updates in the industry, spotlighting visionaries, and recapping the In-House Counsel Leadership Awards event.
The articles in this magazine examine a range of topics affecting the business of law – from diversity in hiring to an ethics opinion from the California Lawyers Association to new post-pandemic California laws, as well as initiatives impacting mental health issues, food service workers and more.
The law firm attorneys profiled in this magazine have exhibited noteworthy achievements within their respective practice areas. Each was considered for his/her successes and accomplishments achieved in the past 24 months and for innovative strategies to help his/her organizations and clients avoid risk and leverage opportunities.
On May 12, 2022, we hosted the In-House Counsel Leadership Awards, an in-person event at The Beverly Hilton, which recognized executive-level in-house lawyers for their leadership skills within their organizations and contributions to the legal field and the community at large. The evening kicked off with a cocktail reception followed by an illuminating panel discussion and concluded with the awards presentation and dinner.
Congratulations to all of the honorees and visionaries! Also thank you to our Diamond sponsor, Miller Kaplan, and our Gold sponsors: Cooley LLP, Latham & Watkins LLP, The Nuvo Group, and Waymaker LLP.
