Day Pitney attorneys Andrés Acebo and Cecilia Zhang Stiber have been selected for Lawyers of Color's "Hot List" for the Eastern Region. The list includes 100 early-to-mid-career minority attorneys. Honorees were nominated by mentors, peers, and colleagues or selected via research by Lawyers of Color into attorneys with noteworthy achievements or active participation in legal pipeline initiatives. A selection committee reviewed nominations in order to identify promising candidates.
Mr. Acebo is an associate in the Commercial Litigation department, and concentrates his practice in the area of white collar defense and internal investigations. Mr. Acebo served as the managing symposium editor of the Rutgers Race and the Law Review while in law school, and was elected president of the Rutgers Association of Latin-American Law Students and vice president of communications of the Hispanic National Bar Association's Law Student Division.
Ms. Stiber is an associate in Day Pitney's Intellectual Property Department, and counsels Fortune 500 companies in the areas of patent, trademark, copyright, trade secret, unfair competition, and technology law. Ms. Stiber is actively involved in diversity initiatives throughout the tri-state area. She serves on the board and is the Vice President of the Connecticut Asian Pacific American Bar Association, and is also the Vice President for the Connecticut Chapter of the Tri-State Diversity Council.
A reception celebrating those selected was held in New York, and the attorneys will be included in Lawyers of Color's special "Hot List" issue this month.

Founded in 2008 as a news and resource center, the company has grown into a social media firm providing research, career development, and brand marketing opportunities to clients.
