As if 2020 weren't hard enough, lawyers at trial firm Susman Godfrey have had a little bit extra to contend with. 

Stephen Susman, the firm's founder and a highly regarded litigator, died in July after a serious cycling accident and a bout with COVID-19. In August, the firm partnership elected Los Angeles litigator Kalpana Srinivasan as a managing partner to serve alongside longtime managing partner Neal Manne.
