Pryor Cashman is pleased to announce the inclusion of our team members in the 28th Edition of The Best Lawyers in America®, its accompanying "Lawyer of the Year" recognitions, and the Second Edition of Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch in America.

Individual lawyers with the highest overall peer-feedback for a specific practice area in a particular geographic region are recognized with the "Lawyer of the Year" distinction. Only one lawyer is recognized as the "Lawyer of the Year" for each specialty and location. In the 2022 edition, that honor goes to co-chair of Pryor Cashman's Family Law Group and Executive Committee Member Judy Poller, co-chair of the Nonprofit + Tax-Exempt Organizations Group Daniel Kurtz, and Partner Todd Marcus, member of the firm's Litigation and Real Estate Groups. These attorneys are noted with three asterisk marks on the below list.
