Benchmark Litigation has named Lieff Cabraser partners Elizabeth J. Cabraser and Kelly M. Dermody to its Top 250 Women in Litigation 2025 listing. Benchmark Litigation, self-described as “the definitive guide to America’s leading litigation firms and attorneys,” covers the United States, Canada and Mexico – and is now in its eighteenth year of publication.
As noted by Benchmark, the women on the list “have earned their place amongst the leading female litigators by participating in some of the most impactful litigation matters in recent history as well as by earning the hard-won respect of their peers and clients.”
Elizabeth was recognized for her work on securities and product liability and recall class actions, while Kelly was honored for her work on employment discrimination class actions and consumer fraud cases.
Congratulations to both Elizabeth and Kelly on this well-deserved recognition!
