Berman Tabacco is pleased to announce that twelve attorneys from Berman Tabacco‘s San Francisco office—eight partners and four associates—have been selected for recognition by Northern California Super Lawyers magazine, published by Thomson Reuters. The attorneys designated as 2021 Northern California Super Lawyers are partners Joseph J. Tabacco, Jr.; Christopher T. Heffelfinger; Nicole C. Lavallee; Todd A. Seaver; Daniel E. Barenbaum; Kristin Moody; Matthew D. Pearson; and Carl N. Hammarskjold. In addition, associates A. Chowning Poppler, Colleen Cleary, Jeffrey Miles, and Jeffrey V. Rocha have been designated as 2021 Northern California Rising Stars (a designation for attorneys under 40 or who have been in practice for less than 10 years).
In addition, Nicole Lavallee, the Managing Partner of the San Francisco Office, has been named to two of Super Lawyers’ “Top Lists”―Top 50 Women and Top 100 lawyers. San Francisco office founding partner Joseph J. Tabacco, Jr. has once again been named to the Top 100 lawyers in 2021. Mr. Tabacco has long been recognized by Super Lawyers, having been selected as a top-rated antitrust litigation attorney each year since 2004.
Super Lawyers notes that it is “a rating service of outstanding lawyers … who have attained a high degree of peer recognition and professional achievement.” The publication states that it recognizes no more than the top 5% of attorneys in each state, as well as the top 2.5% Rising Star attorneys, chosen by their peers and through independent research.
