72 attorneys from Pryor Cashman’s New York and Los Angeles offices have been named to the 2018-2019 Super Lawyers list, more than in any previous year. This includes 55 attorneys who were ranked as “Super Lawyers,” and another 17 who were listed as industry “Rising Stars” – a category of lawyers who are under 40, or have been in practice for 10 years or less.

Super Lawyers honors attorneys who have demonstrated excellence in their practice. Less than 5 percent of the lawyers in a given state are selected to the Super Lawyers list, and fewer than 2.5 percent are named “Rising Stars.”
