93 Selected to The Best Lawyers in America® List
Five Distinguished as “Lawyer of the Year”
41 Named “Ones to Watch”

Epstein Becker Green announced today that 93 attorneys were selected for the 2027 edition of The Best Lawyers in America®, and 41 attorneys were named “Ones to Watch.” Attorneys in the firm’s Employment, Labor & Workforce Management; Health Care; and Litigation & Business Disputes practices earned significant recognition across the two honors, underscoring the firm’s bench strength in its core practice areas.

Each year, Best Lawyers also honors individual attorneys who receive the highest overall peer feedback in each practice area and location with the “Lawyer of the Year” recognition. Epstein Becker Green is proud to share that five Members of the Firm have been recognized as a “Lawyer of the Year” for 2027:

For over four decades, Best Lawyers’ Purely Peer Review® methodology has upheld the principle that recognition should be earned through the opinions of fellow attorneys, not marketing influence or paid listings. Each year, more than 18 million confidential evaluations are collected worldwide. Only about 5 percent of lawyers in the United States are recognized, reflecting the selectivity and credibility of the results. No fees are accepted for consideration or inclusion, preserving the integrity of every recognition.

Epstein Becker Green is proud of this group of highly respected attorneys and offers our congratulations to those who have been recognized.
