Dana Treister, managing partner in Seyfarth’s downtown Los Angeles office, and Shardé Skahan, Labor & Employment partner in the firm’s Los Angeles – Century City office, were cited in the 2025 Top 100 Lawyers list by Los Angeles Business Journal (LABJ). Treister and Skahan were recognized as “top law professionals in the Los Angeles region for their ongoing efforts as outstanding legal stewards.”

LABJ writes in Treister’s profile:

“Treister has handled some of the most complex real estate transactions for a variety of institutional and fund clients. He leads real estate transactions across all 50 states, with an emphasis on the acquisition and sale of commercial properties, real estate finance, land use and entitlement work, and complex ground lease transactions.”

LABJ writes in Skahan’s profile:

“A trusted advisor, Skahan develops client-specific strategies for her cases. Her summary judgment wins have included successes for a Fortune 500 technology company, a Fortune 500 national retailer, and a health care corporation on claims involving discrimination, harassment and retaliation.”

Additionally, Skahan was honored as the 2025 Champion of Diversity, highlighted for her “ongoing efforts to advance diversity and inclusion in the workplace and business leadership while simultaneously creating an inclusive environment that enables diversity and equity to thrive.”

LABJ continues in Skahan’s honoree profile:

“Shardé Skahan has become one of the true leaders in the legal industry in Southern California, exemplified by her position as president of the Black Women Lawyers of Los Angeles (BWL). Through her leadership, BWL plays a key role in addressing the needs and concerns of African-American women in the legal profession, helping to shape future generations. This leadership role grew out of the outstanding reputation Skahan has earned from clients and colleagues at Seyfarth Shaw, where she is a partner in the firm’s noted Labor & Employment department.”
