Haratani '84 Named Top Women Litigator and Lawyer
Joan Haratani '84 was named among the 2007 list of top 75 women litigators in California by the Daily Journal, which is one of the most respected and widely read daily legal newspapers in the state. This prestigious award recognizes women who have exemplified leadership in the legal community and who have made profound achievements in litigation. She was noted for her extraordinary work defending a client against the nation's largest class action against a retailer.
Haratani was also named in 2007 as one of the top 50 women lawyers in Northern California by Super Lawyers, which names Northern California's top lawyers as chosen by their peers and through the independent research of Law & Politics. The honor is based on surveys of the approximately 52,000 active lawyers across the northern part of the state. The goal is to select as Super Lawyers the top five percent of Northern California attorneys in more than 60 practice areas.
Haratani is a partner with Morgan Lewis in the litigation practice in the San Francisco office. She has an extensive trial and pretrial practice, with an emphasis on products liability and commercial disputes. For the last few years, she was the lead lawyer in a high-exposure products liability case involving a food product. She was also a member of a national litigation strategy team for a Fortune 100 company. In her 20 years of practice, she has handled all phases of pretrial and trial proceedings.
UC Davis School of Law alumni have been honored on many prestigious lists, including the Northern and Southern California Super Lawyers.
