Super Lawyers is a rating service of outstanding lawyers from more than 70 practice areas who have attained a high-degree of peer recognition and professional achievement. The selection process is multi-phased and includes independent research, peer nominations and peer evaluations. Peer nominations and evaluations are combined with third party research. Each candidate is evaluated on 12 indicators of peer recognition and professional achievement.
This year’s Rising Stars include Katherine Blostein, recognized in the category of Employment & Labor. Ms. Blostein, an associate, has been promoted to partner as of January 1, 2015.
The selection process for Rising Stars requires that the candidate must be either 40 years old or younger or in practice for ten years or less; notably, no more than 2.5 percent of lawyers are named to the Rising Stars list.
“We believe that all our lawyers are stars or stars in the making, and it seems that Super Lawyers agrees,” said Ms. Lazar. “I am pleased and proud,” said Mr. Outten, “that so many of our lawyers from various practice groups (including every partner) were recognized by Super Lawyers.”
