DLA Piper is pleased to announce that Angela Agrusa, Los Angeles-based co-chair of the Food and Beverage sector, has been named to the Recorder's 2019 list of California Trailblazers.

The Recorder editors highlighted Agrusa's resilience and dedication, and noted that she "does more than defend clients...she also protects their most valuable assets: their brands."

Agrusa tries high-stakes complex commercial, class action and civil cases on behalf of international brands, major companies and prominent individuals. In a wide variety of complex disputes with hundreds of millions of dollars at stake, Agrusa has represented her clients in an array of matters, including brand and individual reputation defense, business torts, consumer fraud and false labelling, competitor false advertising, unfair competition and privacy; she also maintains a sophisticated class action practice, strategically defeating class certification in single and multi-district litigation across the country.
