Best Lawyers Recognizes 52 Stevens & Lee Attorneys for 2027
Stevens & Lee is pleased to announce that 33 Stevens & Lee attorneys have been recognized as “Best Lawyers,” 19 as “Ones to Watch” and four as “Lawyers of the Year” in the 2027 edition of The Best Lawyers in America. Our honorees are distinguished across a range of practice areas and jurisdictions.
The Best Lawyers in America annual rankings are based on a sophisticated peer-review survey process that captures the consensus feedback of leading lawyers about the capabilities and experience of their colleagues within the same geographic market and practice area. “Best Lawyers” honorees are considered leading attorneys in their fields and regions, “Ones to Watch” honorees are earlier in their careers and exemplify legal practice excellence and “Lawyers of the Year” received the strongest overall peer input for their specific practice area and region.
