Kristina Lawson Named to Lawdragon’s 2025 List of 100 Managing Partners You Need to Know
Hanson Bridgett LLP is proud to announce that Managing Partner Kristina Lawson has been named to the 2025 Lawdragon 100 Managing Partners You Need to Know list.
This annual guide recognizes law firm leaders who demonstrate exceptional vision, innovation, and influence in the legal profession. The journalistic research approach used for Lawdragon's selection process focuses on leaders who are "embracing enthusiastic, creative, driven, and intelligent approaches to law firm growth, performance, management, and vision."
Lawson is among just 31 women featured on this year’s list — an acknowledgment not only of her legal skill and strategic leadership but also of her continued impact in a role historically underrepresented by women. She is notably the only managing partner on the list leading a firm based in San Francisco, underscoring her unique role in the region’s legal and business landscape.
Since becoming managing partner in 2020, Lawson has led the firm through a period of strategic growth while strengthening its commitment to client service and a collaborative workplace culture. Under her leadership, Hanson Bridgett continues to thrive as a values-driven, full-service California law firm serving both public and private clients across a wide range of industries. She has championed initiatives that have increased pathways to leadership and elevated the firm’s presence in high-impact legal matters.
