Congratulations to our partners John Stokes and Colleen R. Smith on being recognized in this year’s edition of the Lawdragon 500 X – The Next Generation.

This honor recognizes rising leaders in the legal profession—individuals who “have made their mark in fewer than 15 years in practice, with entire careers ahead of them to be the change they want to see in the world.” They are “the future of the law. And, in many respects, the now.”

Congratulations, John and Colleen!
