Carrying a Tradition Forward
For Rogers Towers, these recognitions speak to something larger than individual achievement.
Founded in 1905, Rogers Towers has built its reputation over more than 120 years through experienced counsel, professional integrity and long-standing relationships with the clients and communities it serves. Sustaining that reputation from one generation to the next requires continually developing attorneys who can uphold those standards while responding to an evolving legal and business environment.
Recognition of 10 Rogers Towers attorneys as Ones to Watch demonstrates that this tradition continues to move forward. Their selections span litigation, construction, corporate and tax law, real estate, intellectual property, trusts and estates, family law and other areas important to the firm’s clients.
Just as Rogers Towers’ established attorneys have built credibility through decades of service and leadership, these honorees represent the depth and continuity that will help carry the firm forward.
What Is Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch?
Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch® in America recognizes attorneys earlier in their careers who demonstrate outstanding professional excellence in private practice. Recipients typically have been in practice for five to nine years and are recognized in specific areas of law.
The distinction is determined using the same Purely Peer Review® methodology that Best Lawyers has used for decades. Following nomination, candidates are evaluated by other attorneys in their practice area and geographic market. Best Lawyers analyzes that feedback, confirms professional eligibility and publishes those attorneys whose work has earned the recognition of their peers.
That peer-review component gives the honor particular significance: recognition is based not simply on years in practice or professional visibility, but on the regard attorneys have earned among fellow members of the legal profession.
