Lawdragon, one of the most respected legal ranking organizations in the United States, is known for its carefully curated lists of the country’s leading lawyers. Drawing on a combination of in-depth independent research and journalistic interviews, as well as client and peer nominations from around the country, the Lawdragon research team spends several months determining which attorneys are to be honored. Selections for the first class of Leading Litigators in America were based on a record number of submissions as well as Lawdragon’s independent research focused on recent cases, defense verdicts or settlements, and records of sustained excellence.
The Shackelford attorneys are listed in the first Lawdragon guide to be dedicated to those attorneys who excel representing principally corporations and other organizations in litigating claims involving antitrust, securities, financial, M&A, intellectual property and patents, product liability, mass tort, white collar, government investigations and energy disputes.
