Four Burns Charest attorneys in the firm’s New Orleans office have been named to the list of Rising Stars in the legal profession in Louisiana, each recognized in the area of Class Actions/Mass Torts. 

Jacob Gower, Amanda Klevorn, Lydia Wright and Rick Yelton are this year’s honorees, which are selected by Thomson Reuters’ legal division to recognize outstanding lawyers under the age of 40 and those who have been practicing law for no more than 10 years. The attorneys were selected based on nominations from other lawyers across Louisiana and an extensive review by the publication’s editors. 

“The fact that all of the eligible associates in our New Orleans office were selected speaks to the quality of each individual and the talent of our entire team” says the firm’s Warren Burns. “These are driven, diligent attorneys and I would be proud to walk into any court in the nation with them.”
