Zac Arbitman Elected As Co-Chair of Philadelphia Bar Association Federal Courts Committee

Feldman Shepherd is pleased to announce that partner Zac Arbitman has been elected to serve as co-chair of the Philadelphia Bar Association’s Federal Courts Committee for the 2026 term.

Founded in 1802, the Philadelphia Bar Association is the oldest association of lawyers in the United States. With 12,000 members, its mission is to serve the profession and the public by promoting justice, professional excellence and respect for the rule of law. The Association’s Federal Courts Committee acts as the primary liaison between the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania and local attorneys. As co-chair, Arbitman will be instrumental in informing members about changes to federal practice and procedure, serving as a key “sounding board” for court reforms, and organizing the annual Federal Bench/Bar Conference to promote the interchange of ideas and encourage civility in the courts.

At Feldman Shepherd, Arbitman leads the whistleblower representation and class action practices.

“I’m honored to continue the longstanding tradition of bar association leadership at Feldman Shepherd. Philadelphia is home to the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, which includes one of the country’s strongest federal benches and a renown federal bar. I look forward to working with the judges and practitioners of the Eastern District to strengthen the relationship between the bench and bar and continue to foster the collegiality that is its hallmark,” said Arbitman.

“We are delighted to learn that Zac will Co-Chair the Association’s Federal Courts Committee in 2026,” said Alan M. Feldman, Co-Managing Partner of Feldman Shepherd. “I know he will bring the same work ethic and creativity to the position as he does every day in his law practice.”
