Knobbe Martens is pleased to announce that 19 partners have been recognized as 2020 Southern California “Super Lawyers”. The prestigious ranking, achieved by just five percent of attorneys in the region, honors outstanding lawyers based on peer nominations and independent research.

Knobbe Martens partners Joseph Cianfrani, Michael Friedland, Joseph Jennings, Stephen Larson, Irfan Lateef, Joseph Re, John Sganga, Paul Stewart, Craig Summers, Sheila Swaroop, Lynda Zadra-Symes, and Brian Horne were recognized for their work in intellectual property litigation. Meanwhile, partners Amy Chun, Steve Jensen, John King, Steven Nataupsky, Susan Natland, Gerard von Hoffmann and Jonathan Hyman were celebrated for their prowess in intellectual property law.

Super Lawyers, a Thomson Reuters service, relies on a patented multiphase selection process to create a credible, comprehensive and diverse listing of outstanding attorneys that can be used as a resource for attorneys and consumers searching for legal counsel. Each candidate is evaluated in twelve key indicators of peer recognition and professional achievement, which include litigation and transactional success, representative clients, awards and honors, pro bono work, scholarly activity, and other achievements.
