Announcements

San Francisco-based law firm Coblentz Patch Duffy & Bass LLP is once again recognized by the National Law Journal's Midsize Hotlist. This is the third consecutive year the firm has been awarded this recognition, and fourth year overall. The National Law Journal's elite award recognizes only 20 firms nationally with between 51 and 150 attorneys that not only excel at legal and client service, but "have used their creativity and skill to stay competitive in courtrooms and at deal tables across the U.S." In its profile of Coblentz, the National Law Journal notes the firm's hand is reflected in major commercial buildings, arts and cultural centers and campus expansions across the Bay Area, "transforming the landscape for more than a century," and recognizes the firm's work on recent major projects like Uber Technologies' purchase of a new Oakland headquarters and the San Francisco Giants and Seawall Lot 337 Associates' Mission Rock project.

Also noted is the firm's expansion into Napa Valley to better serve the wine industry with the opening of two new offices, as well as the development of a new multi-disciplinary social enterprise group to meet the growing needs of social entrepreneurs, and the firm's pro bono leadership, exemplified by the firm named as "captain" of the upcoming Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights' election protection program.

Coblentz has been named to the National Law Journal's Midsize Hotlist in 2016, 2015, 2014 and 2011.
