100+ Armstrong Teasdale Lawyers Named to 2027 Best Lawyers, Ones to Watch

Armstrong Teasdale announces that more than 100 lawyers from offices across the country have been recognized in the 2027 edition of The Best Lawyers in America^® and Ones to Watch. The lawyers are ranked across dozens of practice areas.

Best Lawyers recognitions are based entirely on peer review to capture, as accurately as possible, the consensus opinion of leading lawyers about the professional abilities of their colleagues within the same geographical region and legal practice area. The Ones to Watch category features up-and-coming lawyers in the earlier stages of their careers.

Attorneys ranked for the first time this year include Partners Gregory Iken, Scott Jansen, Paul Legaard, and Ida Shafaie.

In addition, two lawyers were named “Lawyer of the Year,” which is presented to only one individual in a given geographic region and practice area each year. They are Partner and Litigation Practice Group Leader Matthew Reh, for Municipal Law; and Partner Marc Vander Tuig for Litigation – Patent.
