Congratulations to Emily Connor Kennedy

on Her Recognition in Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch® in America

We are proud to share that our very own Emily Connor Kennedy has been recognized in the 2026 edition of Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch® in America for her outstanding work in Bankruptcy and Creditor Debtor Rights / Insolvency and Reorganization Law, as well as Mass Tort Litigation / Class Actions – Plaintiffs.

This recognition is based on a rigorous peer-review process, where attorneys are nominated and evaluated by their colleagues in the legal community. Since 1981, Best Lawyers has been regarded as one of the most credible measures of professional excellence, and the Ones to Watch category highlights attorneys who are earlier in their careers but already making a significant impact.

Emily’s dedication, skill, and commitment to her clients continue to exemplify the values of our firm. We are thrilled to celebrate this well-deserved honor and look forward to her continued success and contributions in the years ahead.
