Over 300 members of California’s legal and business community gathered for a gala on November 3 to honor the careers and legacies of three pioneers in the employment law field. The event, held in the famed Julia Morgan ballroom, honored Mark Rudy, Alan Exelrod, and Steve Zieff, who are founding partners of Rudy, Exelrod, Zieff & Lowe. Over more than three decades, these attorneys and their iconic San Francisco law firm have brought some of the most important and impactful employment law cases in California. Guests entered over a red carpet and enjoyed live music, including from the band Strength in Numbers, featuring one of the honorees, Steve Zieff, on saxophone.
Rudy, Exelrod, Zieff & Lowe managing partner, David Lowe, described the night as a wonderful way for the community to gather and express their affection, respect, and appreciation for the contributions of Mark, Alan, and Steve. “My wonderful partners and colleagues and I look forward to carrying on their extraordinary legacy,” said Lowe.
