Leah_NuttingContract Attorney, Lieff Cabraser Heimann & Bernstein, LLP

As a child, Leah grew up in the landlocked central valley of California. She now revels in living on the coast by sailing as much as she can. Her goal for the Programs Committee is to coordinate events and CLE programs that appeal to a diverse membership, encourage more women to attend, and that continue to build BALIF’s alliances with other legal and minority bar associations.
