Â鶹ֱ²¥ & Lardner associate Rashad Abdallah is named to the list by San Diego Business Journal.

This list honors influential veteran leaders for their dedication and impactful contributions, recognizing their service to the San Diego community.

In his legal practice, Rashad focuses on employment litigation, counseling, and strategic guidance. He represents employers at every stage of employment disputes — ranging from putative class actions and Private Attorney General Act claim to single-plaintiff lawsuits and trade secret misappropriation matters. He also has extensive experience handling administrative proceedings before the California Labor Commissioner and the California Civil Rights Department.

Before entering the law, Abdallah served as a human intelligence specialist in the United States Army, including a combat deployment to Afghanistan in support of Operation Enduring Freedom. Dedicated to veteran and servicemember advocacy, Rashad devotes significant time to pro bono work in this area.

Honorees will be recognized at the Veteran Leaders of Influence Ceremony on November 13, 2025, in San Diego.
