August 20, 2021—Barclay Damon had 38 attorneys selected to the 2021 Upstate New York Super Lawyers list and another 28 selected to the Rising Stars list.
Each year, no more than 5 percent of lawyers in New York are selected by the research team at Super Lawyers to receive the designation. Additionally, no more than 2.5 percent of the lawyers in the state are selected to receive the Rising Stars honor.
“We are immensely proud to have such a strong roster of attorneys at our firm listed as Upstate New York Super Lawyers and Rising Stars again this year,” Connie Cahill, the firm’s managing partner, said. “Year over year, our attorneys build upon their legal skills, affirming their worthiness for inclusion in these lists.
