IRVINE, Calif., July 16, 2025 – Knobbe Martens is proud to share that the firm was honored with the “Community Partner” Award at the Orange County Asian American Bar Association (OCAABA) Annual Installation Dinner, held on July 10 in Newport Beach. Managing Partner Steven Nataupsky accepted the award on the firm’s behalf.
The OCAABA recognizes firms that aid the Association in its mission to foster professional development of their members, serve as mentors to local law students, promote diversity in the private and public sectors, volunteer for legal clinics for low income and disadvantaged communities, and support causes that affect and advance the needs of Asian Pacific Americans and the public at-large.
Commenting on the receipt of the award, Mr. Nataupsky said, “We are deeply honored to receive this distinction from the OCAABA. Supporting the Association’s mission and efforts to support and advance the Asian American legal community in Orange County is a privilege, and reflects the values and culture of our firm.”
Knobbe Martens is a longtime supporter of the OCAABA, and Knobbe Martens partner Chang Lim has served on the organization’s board of directors since 2023.
