Benesch is pleased to announce that 16 attorneys have been selected by their legal community peers to the 2024 Ohio Super Lawyers list, and 25 have been named to the 2024 Ohio Rising Stars list.
The Super Lawyers selection process evaluates lawyers based upon multiple criteria, including professional achievement and peer recognition; honors and awards; firm and bar involvement and leadership; scholarship and professional writings; community service and pro bono activities; and other outstanding achievements. Rising Stars honorees are top up-and-coming attorneys who are no more than 40 years old or who have been practicing for no more than 10 years.
Only five percent of Ohio lawyers are chosen for the Ohio Super Lawyers list and no more than 2.5 percent in the state are recognized on the Rising Stars list. Learn more about the Super Lawyers selection process by clicking here.
