Nate Kelly Earns Singular Super Lawyer Distinction
We are proud to announce that Attorney Nate Kelly has been officially notified of his selection to the Southern California Super Lawyers 2026 list, while also appearing on the Northern California Super Lawyer list.
This achievement places Nate among an exceptionally small group of attorneys recognized in both major California regions — a rare honor made even more notable by the fact that no attorney appeared on both regional Business Litigation lists in 2025.
This dual recognition reflects Nate’s statewide reputation for excellence in business litigation.
