We’re honored to introduce The 2027 Lawdragon 500 Leading Litigators in America.
The U.S. trial bar is without peer throughout the world. And these are its stars.
When we founded this guide five years ago, our intention was guided by the perceived wisdom that trial titan ‘Litigators’ were principally from fancy firms and working on behalf of the defense. Well, it takes two – or 200 – to tango. And as we’ve traveled thousands of miles talking to a like number of lawyers, we can only think of Roy Scheider as he understood what he was facing.
“You’re going to need a bigger boat.”
He, of course, was referring to Jaws, and we are referring with the utmost regard to the 4,000 lawyers honored here who have one thing in common: They excel at the art of advocacy before juries, judges and other decision makers on behalf of their clients.
They represent securities litigators on both sides, mass tort defenders and plaintiffs, criminal defense lawyers and white-collar experts. There are appellate artists, class action stars, energy experts and IP and trade secret lawyers. Among many, many others.
The guide still follows the path of ‘500’ lawyers in each of those and other expertise you can sort by ‘practice.’ As Lawdragon fans know, it’s a brand that has in many cases grown from a number. And that’s to allow us to honor the brilliant lawyers who bring justice to life.
Lawyers denoted with an asterisk are members of the esteemed Lawdragon Hall of Fame.
