Our firm is proud to announce that 21 of its attorneys have been recognized in the 2027 editions of The Best Lawyers in America® and Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch® in America, underscoring the firm’s longstanding commitment to legal excellence and exceptional client service.
Among this year’s honorees, 13 attorneys earned recognition in The Best Lawyers in America® for the first time, reflecting the continued strength and growth of the firm’s talent across a broad range of practice areas.
Recognition by Best Lawyers is one of the legal profession’s most respected distinctions, based entirely on rigorous peer review. Attorneys are selected for their professional excellence and are evaluated by fellow lawyers for their abilities, ethics, and accomplishments within their respective practice areas.
“We are incredibly proud of our attorneys whose dedication, integrity, and commitment to achieving outstanding results for our clients have earned them this well-deserved recognition,” said Brendan DeRiggi, Co-Managing Partner. “These honors reflect not only individual excellence but also the collaborative culture and depth of experience that define our firm.”
