The New York Law Journal’s Rising Stars project recognizes the region’s most promising lawyers under 40. To qualify, the lawyers must practice in New York state, although their activities can extend beyond state borders. We are seeking attorneys from all over New York who work in law firms large and small, in public interest organizations, government, academia and in-house legal departments.
We are looking for lawyers who have wielded influence in their practice areas in New York and beyond. They should be innovators, developing unique practice niches, employing creative uses of technology, amassing robust books of business, demonstrating strong leadership qualities, showing expertise in litigation or transactional work, contributing to the improvement of their institutions, and committing themselves to pro bono, charitable and professional volunteer work.
