(Los Angeles) – Los Angeles Business Journal has named Akin Gump litigation partner Susan Leader and entertainment partner Alissa Miller to its Thriving in Their 40s list, which recognizes those “who serve as terrific examples of trusted advisors whose services the businesses of Los Angeles simply cannot do without…and who also happen to be between the ages of 40 and 49.”
In a recognition profile of Ms. Leader, LABJ highlighted her impressive track record of “securing favorable verdicts for her clients in highly publicized, bet-the-company cases,” as well as her strong advocacy for increasing diversity in the legal industry.
