Southern California Super Lawyers has recognized eleven Loeb & Loeb attorneys as 2010 “Rising Stars.” “Rising Stars” are top, up-and-coming attorneys who are either 40 years of age or under, or who have been practicing law for 10 or fewer years. Each year, no more than 2.5 percent of the lawyers in the state receive this honor.

Loeb & Loeb’s 2010 “Rising Stars” include Jon Daryanani (Employment & Labor), W. Allan Edmiston (General Litigation), David Grossman (Business Litigation), Melanie Howard (Intellectual Property), Arash Khalili (Business/Corporate), Alyse Pelavin (Estate Planning & Probate), Erin Smith (Employment & Labor), Lawrence Venick (Securities & Corporate Finance) and Stephen Zager (Entertainment & Sports).

The selections for this esteemed list are made by the research team at Super Lawyers, which is a service of Thompson Reuters. The rigorous multi-phase selection process includes a statewide survey of lawyers, independent evaluation of candidates by the attorney-led research staff, and a peer review.
