Thompson Coburn partner Rich Reinis was named a winner in the “Distinguished Leader” category in Law.com’s California Legal Awards. The award “honors leaders who have implemented major achievements in the last year, such as leading their firms to record revenue, spearheading large-scale office relocations, implementing new programs or technology and being at the forefront of significant pro bono matters, etc,” the publication states.
At Thompson Coburn, Rich is a corporate strategist and litigator with direct in-house corporate experience and a unique business perspective. In March 2024, Governor Gavin Newsom appointed Rich to a newly established Fast Food Council. This Council's main task will be to assist the State in managing the transition of major fast food chains to a new minimum wage of $20 per hour for over half a million workers in California. The Council will work to ensure that workers' experiences are considered and will collaborate with industry leaders and government officials to set standards that enhance health, safety, and pay.
The California Legal Awards celebrate the achievements of lawyers and companies leading technology, innovation, and the profession as a whole. The winners will be recognized at an awards dinner on October 15 in Los Angeles.
