AALRR Moves Up to 44th Largest Law Firm and Named Most Diverse Firm by Percentage of Partners for the Second Consecutive Year

Cerritos, CA (August 8, 2008)--In its second year on "The California 50" survey, Atkinson, Andelson, Loya, Ruud & Romo (AALRR) is named as the 44th largest law firm, up five places from last year's debut ranking of 49.  "The California 50" is an annual survey of the largest firms in the state published by California Lawyer magazine, a Daily Journal publication.

In addition to rankings by size, California Lawyer also ranked firms by diversity. AALRR  won 1st place as Most Diverse firm in California by percentage of partners.  Last year, the firm tied for first place in this category.

"We are pleased to be recognized for our diversity for the second year in a row.  We owe our growth to the strong relationships which we have forged with clients and the community for almost 30 years now," stated Steve Atkinson, Managing Partner.

The initial publication of this year's survey contained an error regarding equity partnership which has since been corrected on the California Lawyer's website and will be corrected in print in their September issue.  Please see www.californialawyermagazine.com for the corrected version of the complete article.

Established in 1979, AALRR is a full-service firm with over 135 attorneys serving California employers from six offices throughout the state, including Cerritos, Fresno, Pleasanton, Riverside, Sacramento, and San Diego. The firm provides practical legal solutions in the areas of employment, labor, construction, education, real estate, general business and business litigation, corporate, taxation, and bankruptcy.
