ATLANTA, June 24,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Sarah
Jorgensen, a founder of Reichman
Jorgensen Lehman & Feldberg LLP (RJLF), was honored as
the Attorney of the Year 2024 at the Daily Report and
Law.com's Southeastern Legal Awards on June
20, 2024.
Jorgensen's impact on the legal community, her commitment to
justice, and her groundbreaking contributions as a founding partner
at RJLF have distinguished her among this year's esteemed judges.
Central to her legacy is founding RJLF, a nationally recognized
majority women-owned trial firm, launched in October 2018—a moment
Jorgensen refers to as her proudest achievement.
Reflecting on her journey, Jorgensen shared, "Starting our own
firm was a dream turned into reality. It was the culmination of
years of hard work, learning, and the desire to create a unique
space in the legal industry that values relentless advocacy for our
clients, innovation, and diverse talent. Seeing our team come
together, sharing the same vision and commitment, was incredibly
fulfilling." Moreover, dedicated to promoting diversity and
inclusion in the legal profession, over half of RJLF's partners are
women, while more than 30% of the firm's lawyers come from varied
backgrounds.
Among Jorgensen's notable case achievements this past year
include a precedent-setting victory on behalf of the California
Restaurant Association in the "gas ban on stoves" case against the
City of Berkeley. The Ninth Circuit reversed the District Court's
ruling and held that Berkeley's ban on natural gas hookups is
preempted by federal law and therefore invalid. The case garnered
extensive national attention from major news outlets.
With a background that includes serving as a trial lawyer with
the U.S. Department of Justice's Antitrust Division and clerking
for U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice William H. Rehnquist, Jorgensen's career
exemplifies a steadfast commitment to the principles of law.
When discussing leadership qualities, Jorgensen emphasized the
importance of people skills, stating, "A leader must connect with,
inspire, and motivate their team. Integrity is another
non-negotiable trait; a commitment to ethical practices builds
trust and respect both within and outside the firm. Being
reasonable and professional while at the same time advocating
zealously on behalf of our clients is key."
