Barton Gilman is pleased to share that 18 attorneys across its U.S. offices have been named to the 2026 edition of The Best Lawyers in America and six attorneys have been honored in the 6th edition of Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch in America.
Best Lawyers remains the benchmark for legal recognition, trusted worldwide for its integrity and longstanding commitment to excellence. For over 40 years, it has guided individuals and businesses in identifying top legal talent—particularly in unfamiliar jurisdictions or specialized practice areas—by recognizing attorneys who have earned the respect of their peers. Its rigorous, transparent selection process is rooted in peer review, with attorneys evaluated by fellow professionals based on their expertise and the quality of their work within specific geographic and practice areas.
In addition to its core Best Lawyers rankings, Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch recognizes exceptional attorneys in the U.S. who have been in private practice for less than 10 years. This honor, based entirely on peer evaluations, reflects the strong professional esteem these early-career lawyers have earned from their peers.
