jurisdiction, see State Bar LLP Rule 3.172(A)(3). If a partner is licensed in more than one jurisdiction, list the primary
jurisdiction first. (A partner licensed to practice law in California will be entered as a California partner unless you specify
otherwise.) You may attach additional pages if necessary
.
NOTE: If you list the name of a law corporation partner on Attachment 1, do not list the shareholder(s) as an individual
attorney partner(s), unless the shareholder(s) and the law corporation are separate partners in the LLP.
