The Best Lawyers in America

Porter Wright is pleased to announce that 94 attorneys from across the firm are selected by their peers for inclusion in the 2027 editions of The Best Lawyers in America® and Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch® in America. Recognition by Best Lawyers is based entirely on peer review. The Best Lawyers selection process is rigorous and comprehensive, involving detailed evaluations of attorneys by their peers.

In addition, two Porter Wright attorneys were named to Best Lawyers’ Lawyer of the Year report. This award is particularly impressive, as it is presented to a single lawyer in each practice area and geographic region each edition.
