Armstrong Teasdale, a law firm with offices across the United States, proudly announces that 52 attorneys have been selected as 2018 Missouri & Kansas Super Lawyers® or Rising Stars.

Super Lawyers is an annual list of outstanding lawyers who have attained a high degree of peer recognition and professional achievement. Selection for Super Lawyers includes peer nominations, a blue-ribbon panel review process and independent research on candidates.

The Rising Stars list consists of the state’s top young attorneys. The selection process for Rising Stars is the same as Super Lawyers; however, Rising Star candidates must be 40 years old or younger, or have practiced for 10 years or less.

Four Armstrong Teasdale attorneys were new to the Rising Stars list in 2018: Litigation Associate Nicolas Cejas, Intellectual Property Associate Mark Thomas and Financial and Real Estate Services Associates Erin Edelman and Neal Griffin.

The Super Lawyers and Rising Stars lists are published in the 2018 Missouri & Kansas Super Lawyers magazine.
