Two Norton Rose Fulbright partners named among Top 100 Lawyers by the Los Angeles Business Journal

Los Angeles partners Jayesh Patel and Debbie Birndorf-Zeiler have been selected to Los Angeles Business Journal’s Top 100 Lawyers 2025 list.

The annual list recognizes the leading lawyers in the region for their legal achievements, contributions to the profession and impact on the local community.

A trial litigator and strategic advisor, Jayesh focuses his practice on helping clients tackle and resolve complex financial, real estate and commercial litigation on a wide range of business issues. He represents both domestic and international clients, from small to medium sized businesses, to high-net-worth individuals and family offices.

Debbie has over 30 years of experience in employment law representing clients in harassment, discrimination and retaliation claims, wage and hours class actions, PAGA actions and misappropriation of trade secret cases. She also advises on compliance, employment agreements, severance agreements, employee handbooks and workplace policies.

Honorees were selected by the Los Angeles Business Journal’s editorial department based on nominations and demonstrated achievements. The honorees were celebrated at an awards event in April and featured a special edition of the publication.
