BB&K Partner Recognized for “Hero Pay” Work and More
Best Best & Krieger LLP Partner Christopher Pisano was named to the Los Angeles Business Journal’s 2021 list of Top Litigators and Trial Attorneys.

Chris led the BB&K team in successfully defending the City of Long Beach’s ordinance that required grocery stores to pay a fair compensation to workers who were providing essential services during the pandemic. On behalf of other public agencies, Chris is litigating COVID-19-related disputes on everything from business shut down orders to inmates’ rights.
One of the founding members of BB&K’s Los Angeles office, Chris is a veteran litigator who handles a variety of matters on behalf of both public and private clients, including eminent domain, water rights and health care.
