We are honored to announce that Willenken LLP has been recognized as a “Top Boutique” law firm by the Daily Journal for 2024. This exclusive accolade is awarded to only 20 specialty firms across California each year, highlighting firms that demonstrate exceptional expertise in their practice areas. This year marks Willenken’s third appearance on this prestigious list, with prior recognitions in 2015 and 2018.
The “Top Boutiques 2024” feature, published as a supplement in Daily Journal’s Los Angeles and San Francisco editions, commends Willenken’s excellence in complex commercial litigation. In an interview with Daily Journal, partners Eileen Ahern, Paul Loh, Kenneth Trujillo-Jamison, and Jason Wilson reflected on the firm’s growth since its founding in 2002. They shared insights into Willenken’s approach to achieving significant trial victories, recruiting top-tier legal talent, and fostering a collaborative, entrepreneurial culture.
“Most of our attorneys come from Big Law firms. We’ve accumulated the skills to handle complex litigation, and we do it at that level here at a firm that is nimble, efficient and collegial. I can’t think of any other boutique firm with our level of trial experience.”
— Kenneth Trujillo-Jamison, Co-Managing Partner
The article underscored Willenken’s unwavering commitment to winning for clients as illustrated by the firm’s recent $505.6 million verdict for client AbbVie in a high-stakes dispute over the breach of a pharmaceutical supply contract.
“This is almost certainly the largest verdict ever obtained by a minority-owned firm in a commercial litigation trial. [Paul] said that he’s particularly proud that every speaking role at trial was taken by either a person of color or a woman.”
— Paul Loh, Co-Managing Partner
