Shutts & Bowen LLP is proud to announce that 36 attorneys have been named to the 2020 Super Lawyers list, while 19 attorneys have been recognized as 2020 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. Only the top 5 percent of outstanding lawyers in Florida are rated by Super Lawyers, while no more than 2.5 percent of lawyers under 40 years old or who have practiced for fewer than 10 years are selected as Rising Stars.

In total, 55 attorneys at Shutts were recognized in the 2020 list. Aleksey Shtivelman, Elizabeth Jones and Kelscey Boyle were recognized as Florida Rising Stars for the first time this year, while partners Brent Bell and Timothy Woodward were recognized for their milestone of ten consecutive years on the Super Lawyers list.
