For almost 32 years now, I’ve been privileged to be a part of Jones Day, one of the world’s great law firms. It’s a place that is far greater than the sum of its parts, but the parts are pretty damn good, too. This year, 404 of our roughly 1,500 U.S. lawyers were named among the Best Lawyers in America, and another 125 were named “Ones to Watch.” Fifteen of our U.S. lawyers were named “Lawyers of the Year” in their respective jurisdictions, and this year, I was named the “Lawyer of the Year” for Patent Litigation in Washington, DC.
Best Lawyers is a purely peer review ranking system, and its core question is: “If you are unable to take a case, how likely would you be to refer your client to this nominee?” To have been a “Best Lawyer” in two categories (Appellate Practice and Intellectual Property) since 2015, and, now, to receive this honor, is a satisfying recognition of my personal contributions to our collective enterprise. And when I look at my other “Lawyer of the Year” colleagues from Jones Day, I realize that I am in the presence of some truly great lawyers and human beings.
The 2025 edition of The Best Lawyers in America® includes 404 of our lawyers, from 69 different areas of practice and each of the Firm's 18 U.S. offices. Sixty-five lawyers were named to the list for the first time, 125 lawyers across 30 different practices were named Ones To Watch, and 15 were named Lawyers of the Year. https://lnkd.in/gfD-n7dz
