Firm President Sheryl L. Axelrod was inducted as a Fellow in the Litigation Counsel of America (LCA), a peer selected group of the country’s top trial lawyers. Vigorously vetted for skills, expertise, and service, less than one-half of one percent of the nation’s attorneys are admitted as Fellows into LCA’s by-invitation only membership. The composition of the LCA is aggressively diverse, with recognition of excellence among American litigation and trial counsel across all segments of the Bar. The purpose of the LCA is to recognize deserving, experienced, and highly qualified lawyers, to provide an outlet for scholarly authorship of legal articles on trial and litigation practice, to provide additional sources for professional development, to promote superior advocacy and ethical standards in the practice of law, to assist in community involvement by its membership, and to advance a superior judiciary, by taking relevant positions on issues or legislation affecting judicial compensation and/or benefits, as well as those affecting the American litigation processes.
Fellows are selected and invited into Fellowship after being evaluated for effectiveness and accomplishment in litigation and trial work, along with ethical reputation. The number of Fellowships has been kept at an exclusive limit by design, allowing qualifications, diversity, and inclusion to align effectively. Fellows are generally at the partner or shareholder level or are independent practitioners with twelve or more years of experience. The LCA Fellowship also includes Judicial Fellows, Academic Fellows (law professors/legal scholars), Legislative Fellows and In-House Counsel Fellows.
