Super Lawyers magazine has recognized 24 Akerman attorneys in its 2025 issue, spotlighting many of New York Metro's leading practitioners. Super Lawyers, a Thomson Reuters publication, evaluates outstanding attorneys in more than 70 practice areas who have demonstrated a high degree of peer recognition and professional achievement. The patented selection process includes independent research, peer nominations, and peer evaluations.
Notably, Intellectual Property Practice Group Partner Marc A. Lieberstein was named among the “Top 100: 2025 New York Metro Super Lawyers.” The list recognizes those who scored the highest among 12 indicators of peer recognition and professional achievement as part of the publication’s rigorous selection process.
