Shutts & Bowen LLP is proud to announce that 27 attorneys have been named to the 2022 Florida Super Lawyers list, while 19 attorneys have been recognized as 2022 Rising Stars.
Super Lawyers recognizes distinguished attorneys who have undergone a rigorous screening process and who are ultimately selected for inclusion in their annual list of exceptional legal professionals. Published by Thomson Reuters, Super Lawyers is a rating service of attorneys from more than 70 practice areas and determines its rankings through independent research, peer nominations and peer evaluations.
