Several BG Law Attorneys Named Southern California Super Lawyers and Rising Stars by Thomson Reuters

BG Law LLP is pleased to announce that attorneys from the firm’s Los Angeles office were selected by Thomson Reuters as 2014 Southern California Super Lawyers and Rising Stars. Partner Mark D. Brutzkus was named in the Intellectual Property Litigation category for the 8th year. Partner Steven T. Gubner was named in the Bankruptcy and Business Litigation categories for the 8th year. Partner David Seror was named in the Bankruptcy, Business Litigation and Creditor Debtor Rights categories for the 8th year. Partner Jeffrey Kobulnick was named in the Intellectual Property and Intellectual Property Litigation categories and partner Robyn B. Sokol in the Bankruptcy category.

In addition, Senior Associate Joseph Balice was named a Rising Star in insurance coverage; and Susie Seflin was named in Bankruptcy and Creditor Debtor Rights.

The Super Lawyers distinction honors attorneys who attain a high degree of peer recognition and professional achievement as some of the region’s pre-eminent lawyers. Super Lawyers is a rating service of lawyers from more than 70 practice areas. The selection process includes independent research, peer nominations and peer evaluations, all of which result in a comprehensive and diverse listing of the top 5 percent of attorneys in each state.

The Rising Stars list is developed using the same patented multiphase selection process used for the Super Lawyers list except:

• To be eligible for inclusion in Rising Stars, a candidate must be either 40 years old or younger or in practice for 10 years or less.
• While up to 5 percent of the lawyers in a state are named to Super Lawyers, no more than 2.5 percent are named to Rising Stars.
