Five attorneys from Ballard Spahr’s Atlanta office are among more than 150 of the firm’s lawyers nationwide included in the 2020 edition of The Best Lawyers in America, regarded as a definitive guide to the country's leading attorneys.
Atlanta-based Ballard Spahr attorneys on the list include Mitchell A. Katz, who was also named 2020 Atlanta-area Lawyer of the Year for Patent Law. Only one attorney in each practice area receives the Lawyer of the Year designation in each location. His Atlanta colleagues on the list are recognized for litigation practice, including IP litigation.
Each year, Best Lawyers asks 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.
