Senator-Elect Bob Hertzberg Will Join Powerhouse Law Firm Glaser Weil's Government Affairs Practice
LOS ANGELES --(Business Wire)--
Los Angeles-based law firm Glaser Weil announced today that
Senator-Elect Bob Hertzberg will be joining its Government and
Regulatory Law Practice Group.
Hertzberg, who will be Of Counsel to Glaser Weil, has been a partner at
Mayer Brown, LLP for the past 12 years. Previously, he served on the
Board of The Public Policy Institute of California and as Chairman,
twice, for the Los Angeles Economic Development
Corporation. He currently is a member of the Board at USC's Price School
of Public Policy and Pepperdine's School of Public Policy.
He is internationally recognized by the World Bank for his renewable
energy efforts in Africa, as a Low Carbon Pioneer by MSNBC at Davos, and
a world leader in energy policy by the Guardian Magazine in the U.K.
Hertzberg is a former Speaker of the California State Assembly and will
be returning to the Legislature this year as Senator representing the
San Fernando Valley.
"We are honored to have Bob join our firm," said Glaser Weil Managing
Partner Peter Weil. "His 35 years of experience as a lawyer, work-ethic,
dedication and vast knowledge will contribute to the continued growth of
the firm."
"Bob will be an excellent addition to ur firm," said Partner Patricia
L. Glaser. "We are excited to have him join us and share his many years
of legal expertise. He is well respected in both the political and
business spheres in Los Angeles and throughout the state he is known for
his integrity, doggedness, dedication and experience."
"I'm thrilled to be joining Glaser Weil," said Hertzberg. "The firm's
level of commitment to its clients is second to none and is a testament
to the firm's reputation as one of the best law firms in the country."
Hertzberg will be joining the firm's government affairs practice headed
by Thomas Levyn, former Mayor of Beverly Hills, and Tim McOsker, former
Chief Deputy City Attorney and Chief of Staff to Los Angeles Mayor Jim
Hahn. Hertzberg will not advise clients on matters that may come before
the Legislature or State Agencies. It is expected that he will advise on
local issues, matters in other states, and on international projects.
"Glaser Weil is always looking for top notch talent and expertise in a
variety of fields and Bob represents the best in both of these areas,"
said Partner Tim McOsker. "No one can deny his passion for the issues
set before him and we are excited to have a man of his integrity and
ability join us as an integral part of our team."
"Bob has been a terrific partner for the past 12 years," said Phil
Recht, Partner-in-Charge at Mayer Brown. "Given our active practice
before the Legislature and other state agencies, which would pose
conflicts for Bob, we completely understand Bob's need to move on. We
wish him the best with all his future endeavors."
Since opening for business 26 years ago, Glaser Weil has been one of the
nation's premier mid-sized law firms, with approximately 100 attorneys.
Operating out of two Los Angeles area offices, in Century City and in
Downtown Los Angeles, the firm provides successful, often cutting-edge,
representation across a broad spectrum of practice areas in addition to
government affairs, including litigation, intellectual property
litigation, real estate, entertainment, general corporate, energy and
environmental law.
Hertzberg is a Magna Cum Laude Graduate of The University of Redlands
(1976) and received his JD from the University of California, Hastings
College of the Law (1979). He has two sons: David and Daniel.
