Olson Remcho is very pleased and proud to report that partner Karen Getman has been named to Capitol Weekly’s Top 100 for 2024. Olson Remcho’s Robin Johansen and Lance Olson were previously named to the Top 100 list. Getman also made the Top 100 list in 2022 and 2023.
According to Capitol Weekly, “Attorney Karen Getman is the founding partner of the powerhouse political and governmental law firm Olson Remcho, based in Oakland. She is also a major player in education funding through her work for the California Teachers Association. That was on full display this year as the organization had a near knife fight with Gov. Newsom over education dollars in the woefully hurting state budget. The CTA ultimately won out.”
Karen notes that Senior Associate Ben Gevercer played an important role in securing funding for education on behalf of CTA: “Ben worked hard on this issue and helped us get an outstanding result for the client, avoiding what could have been a permanent decrease in the education budget of billions of dollars.”
