In a glowing profile for its Lawyer Limelights series, Lawdragon recently praised Ellis George and its Managing Partner Keith Wesley for being one of the hottest firms in Los Angeles and Wesley for his own stellar career.
Routinely at the center of headline-grabbing disputes – calling b.s. on Michael Avenatti, taking on a U.S. Senator who dumped Covid-related stock, representing the City of L.A. in defense of high-profile class actions – the firm has grown from a one-office trial shop to a bi-coastal litigation power that’s home to a former U.S. Attorney for Los Angeles; the former head of the Tax Division for the Department of Justice; a former Governor and Senator; and a stable of prominent trial lawyers representing large companies including L’Oréal, Tiffany & Co., and CBRE, as well as start-ups and individuals.
As part of the management group for several years before becoming Managing Partner, Wesley has been an instrumental force behind the firm’s growth. “Over the past few years ,we’ve added some of the finest lawyers I’ve come across,” says Wesley. “Although the firm has been known as a prominent trial shop in Los Angeles for decades, the breadth and quantity of trial and litigation experience we now have on both coasts is truly second to none. But stay tuned. I anticipate big news before the end of the year and into 2021. In short, the best is yet to come.”
