We’re honored to share that 16 TWG attorneys have been recognized by Best Lawyers® in its 2027 edition.
The recognition is meaningful because it reflects the respect of peers across the legal profession. For us, it also represents something we value deeply: the thoughtful guidance, experience and commitment these attorneys bring to the people and businesses they serve every day.
This year, Jeffrey D. Leonard and Lisa A. McPherson were each named a 2027 Best Lawyers® “Lawyer of the Year” in their respective practice areas. Fourteen additional TWG attorneys were recognized in The Best Lawyers in America®, and Matthew Schippers was recognized in Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch® in America.
