This was the fourteenth consecutive year since 2003 that Lieff Cabraser has received Hot List honors.[6] From 2011 through 2016, Best Lawyers and U.S. News selected Lieff Cabraser as a "Law Firm of the Year," including recognition for Mass Torts Litigation/Class Actions and Employment Law.[7] In 2016, Law360 selected Lieff Cabraser as one of the Top 50 law firms nationwide for litigation.[8] This list included firms over twenty times Lieff Cabraser's size, and Law360 highlighted the firm's "laser focus," noting that Lieff Cabraser routinely finds itself "facing off against some of the largest and strongest defense law firms in the world." Also in 2016, Benchmark Litigation named Lieff Cabraser as one of the "Top 10 Plaintiffs' Firms in America"[9] and in 2017 named founding partner Elizabeth Cabraser its "Plaintiff Attorney of the Year."[10] In 2018, Law360 selected Lieff Cabraser as one of five firms for its Practice Group of the Year Award for "Class Actions."[11] Community activityLieff Cabraser sponsors the Bay Area Minority Law Student Scholarship Program conducted by the Bar Association of San Francisco (BASF).
