More Than 195 Ballard Spahr Attorneys Recognized in Best Lawyers 2023

The recently released 2023 edition of The Best Lawyers in America includes 197 Ballard Spahr attorneys nationwide, who received 330 total recognitions in the guide.

Of the 139 Ballard Spahr attorneys listed in the “Best Lawyers” category, who received 245 total recognitions, seven were also named 2023 Lawyers of the Year for their practices and locations. Only one attorney receives the designation in each location for each practice area.

In addition, 58 Ballard Spahr attorneys are listed in the “Ones to Watch” category for attorneys in private practice less than 10 years. Together, they garnered 85 total recognitions.

The Best Lawyers methodology uses annual surveys asking lawyers across the nation to evaluate their peers based on legal skill, professionalism, and integrity. From the results of those extensive surveys, the publication chooses the top attorneys in the most high-profile practices. Lawyers of the Year received the highest overall peer feedback for a specific practice area and geographic region.
