Akerman is proud to share that Los Angeles Office Managing Partner Michael Weiss has been named to the Los Angeles Business Journal's "Top 100 Lawyers 2024." The list highlights the accomplishments of the region’s most impactful attorneys.

In addition to Office Managing Partner, Weiss is Deputy Co-Chair of our Litigation Practice Group and has nearly 30 years of experience as a trusted counselor and a true partner in achieving his client's legal and business goals. He guides them through complex disputes, including large-dollar breach of contract and fraudulent inducement litigation, real estate litigation, commercial and business disputes, and complex insurance insolvency matters. His litigation experience includes multimillion dollar breach-of-contract, commercial fraud, easement, entitlement, and contract disputes on behalf of national and international billion dollar companies and Fortune 500 REIT companies; commercial lease and purchase disputes and transactions; and real estate partnership disputes and workouts.

In his role as the leader of the Los Angeles office, Michael fosters an environment where pro bono service is encouraged and expected. The office actively contributes to various local organizations and is committed to Our Big Kitchen Los Angeles (OBKLA). Annually, the office collaborates to prepare and cook meals, addressing the issue of food insecurity. Grateful for the opportunity, the Los Angeles office played a part in the preparation and distribution of 70,000 meals by OBKLA for the local community last year.

In 2022, the Los Angeles Business Journal recognized him as a "Leader of Influence - Litigators & Trial Attorneys." The recognition is further proof of Michael's exceptional legal abilities and unwavering commitment to his clients, as well as his expertise and success in complex legal matters.
