SEPT. 18, 2025 – In its annual ranking of California's Top 100 Lawyers, the Daily Journal has named Davis Wright Tremaine LLP partner Kelli Sager to its list of Distinguished Counsel, a new honor reserved for those who've made the Top 100 list 15 times or more.

The Daily Journal recognized Sager for her "four-decade career as the go-to lawyer for media and entertainment companies facing complex defamation, privacy, and content claims."

Sager's impact has extended well beyond California. As the Daily Journal noted, her recent victories "include a significant ruling strengthening New York's SLAPP statute."

Sager's long list of recent honors include being named a Legal Legend by the Hollywood Reporter and receiving the Legal Excellence Award from the Los Angeles Business Journal.
