Seventeen Susman Godfrey partners were named to the 2020 edition of Lawdragon’s 500 Leading Lawyers, “the most elite distinction in the profession, covering the best of the best in all practice areas.” The honorees represent more than 22 percent of the firm’s partnership—the highest proportion of honorees at any litigation firm.
“We are delighted that Lawdragon recognizes the extraordinary breadth of talent within our partnership. Among litigation firms, we dominate the list,” said co-managing partner Neal Manne, who has been deemed a “Lawdragon Legend.”
Making their Lawdragon 500 debuts this year are Barry Barnett, Brian Melton, Katie Sammons, Steven Sklaver, and Arun Subramanian. They join Susman Godfrey colleagues Vineet Bhatia, Jacob Buchdahl, Bill Carmody, Erica Harris, Geoff Harrison, Manne, Shawn Rabin, Shawn Raymond, Kalpana Srinivasan, Max Tribble, Mark Wawro, and Lexie White.
Equally of note, firm founder Steve Susman and Seattle office head Parker Folse were recently inducted into Lawdragon’s Hall of Fame.
