LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Environmental and land use law firm The Sohagi Law Group announced today that Partner Nicole Gordon is again among the honorees in the Los Angeles Business Journal’s annual special supplement recognizing the City’s top women attorneys. The Journal’s Publisher and CEO Josh Schimmels writes, “during this challenging time battling the coronavirus, we are relying on our trusted advisers more than ever. In times of uncertainty, lawyers . . . are particularly needed to help our businesses respond and react to issues at hand.”

The Sohagi Law Group’s Founding Partner Margaret Sohagi said, “Nicole is an incredibly talented professional, and she continually demonstrates her capacity to deliver the highest level of strategy and service to the firm’s clients.”
