Susman Godfrey has received the Specialty/Boutique Litigation Department of the Year award for 2023 from The American Lawyer. Honorees were announced during the The American Lawyer Industry Awards gala event in New York on November 14, which recognizes “the profession’s finest.” This is the second time in five years Susman Godfrey has been recognized with this distinction.
“This is an important honor, and it is thanks to the hard work and dedication of every lawyer and staff member at the firm, said co-Managing Partner Kalpana Srinivasan, who went on to say, “This is especially rewarding coming at the end of the busiest trial year in firm history.” Co-Managing Partner, Vineet Bhatia, added, “We are both thrilled and proud to receive this recognition from one of the most respected publications for the U.S. legal industry.”
