Los Angeles Business Journal Recognizes Two Hunton Andrews Kurth Partners As Leaders Of Influence: Top Litigators For Third Consecutive Year

Hunton Andrews Kurth LLP is pleased to announce that partners Ann Marie Mortimer and Roland Juarez have been named to the 2021 Leaders of Influence: Top Litigators & Trial Lawyers list by the Los Angeles Business Journal. This is their third consecutive year to be included.

The list recognizes 88 litigators chosen by the Los Angeles Business Journal as “attorneys who go to the proverbial mat to fight for their clients before judges and jury [and] transcend expert comprehension of the legal system.” Their work, dedication, and the overall firm success were all benchmarks in determining the honorees.

As co-head of the firm’s commercial litigation practice, Mortimer is an accomplished litigator and a strategic problem solver focused on achieving positive business results in complex cases. She is at the forefront of novel cybersecurity litigation threatening the fundamental business of global brands. As the founder and managing partner of the firm’s Los Angeles office, Mortimer has first-chaired high-profile cases to resolution and her ability to decode technical allegations into common-sense themes is among the reasons clients return to her repeatedly to assist with their most complex class action, commercial and data breach cases. Mortimer has received widespread recognition among her peers, most recently including Law360’s “2020 MVP in Cybersecurity and Privacy” and The Daily Journal’s “2020 Top Cyber Lawyer in California.”

A partner in the firm’s labor and employment practice, Juarez handles high-stakes employment cases with an innovative approach. His experience includes class actions, non-compete, non-solicitation and employee raiding cases, discrimination, harassment, disability, wage and hour, PAGA and Title III website accessibility cases. He has secured numerous trial and arbitration wins in wage and hour cases and various discrimination cases, including precedent-setting wins in several industries. Highly decorated for his outstanding trial work, Juarez has been listed on the Daily Journal’s “Top Labor and Employment Lawyers 2020” awards and on the Los Angeles Business Journal’s “2021 Top Minority Attorneys” awards.
