‘Best Lawyers’ Recognizes Thompson Coe Attorneys on 2025 List, Including ‘Ones to Watch’
Aug 15, 2024
The Best Lawyers in America has recognized 42 Thompson Coe attorneys, including 11 on the Ones to Watch in the 2025 edition. Since it was first published in 1983, Best Lawyers has become universally regarded as the definitive guide to legal excellence and an unbiased source of legal referrals worldwide.
This year, Thompson Coe has made a significant mark across 14 practice areas, adding 14 attorneys to the combined best lawyers list. The Ones to Watch are recognitions given to attorneys for outstanding professional excellence in private practice who are earlier in their careers, typically 5-9 years in practice.
Lawyers on these lists are reviewed by their peers on the basis of professional expertise and undergo an authentication process to make sure they are in current practice and good standing.
Thompson Coe added many new attorneys to both lists this year, and included below, next to their names, is the first year the attorney was recognized.
