Los Angeles Business Journal Names WASH Laundry's Craig Levine as Corporate Counsel of the Year Finalist

EL SEGUNDO, Calif., Oct. 7, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Los Angeles Business Journal named Craig Levine, WASH Laundry's executive vice president, general counsel and corporate secretary, as a finalist in its annual Corporate Counsel of the Year Awards program. Levine was recognized for his accomplishments as WASH's in-house attorney and for the impact that he has made on the company. 

"Congratulations to Craig on this well-deserved recognition," commented Adam Coffey, president & CEO of WASH. "An expert in mergers and acquisition transactions, corporate finance, securities law, and contractual matters, Craig has been instrumental in WASH's global expansion and has applied his vast knowledge to expertly manage our organization's multinational contractual, human resource, real estate and other legal needs," added Coffey.

In 2013, Levine successfully made the transition from outside counsel with the Los Angeles-based law firm of Jeffer Mangels Butler & Mitchell, LLP, to take the reins as WASH's in-house general counsel and is now an integral part of the company's senior management team. This move gave him a unique perspective on the company, its industry, and the overall marketplace and also allowed him to leverage his extensive experience serving clients in private practice to a new corporate environment.

"As the sole attorney in an enterprise with more than 850 employees, it is a great honor to be recognized by the Los Angeles Business Journal," comments Levine. "Being general counsel for WASH, and part of a dynamic executive team with such vision, is truly rewarding."  

Levine has earned numerous honors in his career, including being recognized as a "Southern California Rising Star" by Southern California Super Lawyers in Los Angeles Magazine (2009, 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013), being named a finalist at the 2nd Annual "40 Under 40" Recognition Awards sponsored by The M&A Advisor (an international competition), and being selected by The Recorder as one of 50 lawyers in California on the "Fast Track."
