2021 Best Lawyers, Lawyer of the Year, and Ones to Watch
Eight Semmes attorneys were honored as Best Lawyers in the 2021 edition of The Best Lawyers in America©. Alexander Giles was named “Lawyer of the Year” for his work in Admiralty and Maritime Law. In addition, Imran Shaukat made his first appearance in Best Lawyers in the inaugural edition of Ones To Watch for his Appellate Practice and Commercial Litigation.
Since it was first published in 1983, Best Lawyers has become universally regarded as the definitive guide to legal excellence. Best Lawyers lists are compiled based on an exhaustive peer-review evaluation. Lawyers are not required or allowed to pay a fee to be listed. Therefore, inclusion in Best Lawyers is considered a singular honor. Corporate Counsel magazine has called Best Lawyers “the most respected referral list of attorneys in practice.”
