Hartzog Conger Cason is pleased to announce that 11 lawyers have been included in the 2027 edition of Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch® in America.
Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch in America recognizes associates and other lawyers who are earlier in their careers for their outstanding professional excellence in private practice in the United States.
“Best Lawyers recognitions are more than accolades,“ said Best Lawyers CEO Phillip Greer. “They are often a compass guiding clients toward exceptional legal representation based purely on peer feedback supported by our rigorous and time-tested methodology.”
Lawyers recognized in Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch in America are evaluated by geographic region and practice area. Candidates may be considered for either Ones to Watch or traditional Best Lawyers recognition, but not both at the same time.
Each candidate must be nominated, reviewed by peers and independently authenticated before receiving recognition. Lawyers cannot pay to be included, making selection by Best Lawyers a meaningful distinction based on professional merit.
Hartzog Conger Cason would like to congratulate the following lawyers recognized in the 2027 edition of Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch in America:
Evan D. Chambers – Corporate Law
Neeley Cook – Corporate Law
Jacob L. Fanning – Business Organizations (including LLCs and Partnerships), Corporate Law and Real Estate Law
