Keker & Van Nest LLP is pleased to announce that the American College of Trial Lawyers, widely considered the country’s premier professional trial organization, has inducted partner Elliot Peters. Fellowship, extended by invitation only, is restricted to the top one percent of the trial bar. With the admission of Peters and previously inducted Keker & Van Nest partners John Keker, Robert Van Nest and Susan Harriman, 12.5 percent of the firm’s partnership are Fellows.
