VNF is proud to celebrate 35 attorneys recognized in the 2027 editions of Best Lawyers®, reflecting the depth of experience, talent, and commitment our attorneys bring to clients every day. This year, 29 attorneys were named to The Best Lawyers in America® and six were recognized in Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch® in America, with our attorneys earning 68 total recognitions across 15 distinct practice areas.

Among this year’s honorees, five attorneys were named “Lawyer of the Year” in their respective practice areas. These recognitions are especially meaningful because they are based on peer review and speak to the reputation our attorneys have earned within the legal profession. We congratulate all of this year’s honorees and remain grateful to our clients for the trust they place in us to help navigate their most important opportunities and complex challenges.

Since it was first published in 1983, Best Lawyers® has become universally regarded as the definitive guide to legal excellence. Best Lawyers recognitions are compiled based on an exhaustive Purely Peer Review® evaluation. More than 184,000 industry leading lawyers are eligible to vote (from around the world), and we have received more than 31 million evaluations on the legal abilities of other lawyers based on their specific practice areas around the world. For the 2026 edition of The Best Lawyers in America®, more than 27 million votes were analyzed, which resulted in more than 80,000 leading lawyers included in the milestone 32nd edition. Lawyers are not required or allowed to pay a fee to be listed; therefore, inclusion in Best Lawyers is considered a singular honor.
