IRVINE —  Best Best & Krieger LLP is pleased to once again be among the top 40 on the Orange County Business Journal’s Top Law Firms list. The firm ranked No. 39 with 26 attorneys in the Irvine office on the list released March 18. According to the newspaper, attorney employment in Orange County was close to stagnant across the firms last year, with a less than 1 percent increase in attorney headcount across all firms.
 
New attorneys joined the Irvine office recently, including Municipal Law Partner Megan Garibaldi, Prosecution Counsel Denise Hansen, Bankruptcy Law Partner Caroline Djang and associates Hannah Park and Ali Tehrani, who are both in the Environmental Law & Natural Resources practice group, and Municipal Law Associate Kandice Kim.
 
BB&K prioritizes being a reflection of the community we serve. Last year, BB&K earned the inaugural Advancement of Women Award from the Orange County Women Lawyers Association for championing women within the firm and the community. BB&K’s diversity rankings last year included No. 1 for Best Mid-Size Law Firm for both Women & Minorities and Minority Attorneys by Law360 and No. 2 in California for Law Firms with the Most Women by American Lawyer Media.
 
BB&K’s Irvine attorneys enjoyed a number of professional accomplishments recently, including:

• Partner Jeff Dunn receiving a Daily Journal Top Verdict Award for a groundbreaking groundwater rights jury trial
• Of Counsel Ryan Baron earning the Public Law Section’s appointment to the California Lawyers Association Board of Representatives
• Of Counsel Todd Leishman being called on to testify before Congress on sober living home regulations
