Best Lawyers’ 2026 “Best Law Firms” publication recognized Hueston Hennigan with the highest rankings in several practice areas, including Tier 1 nationally in Commercial Litigation, Securities Litigation and Media Law.

The firm also garnered Tier 1 regional rankings in Commercial Litigation, Bet-the-Company Litigation, Criminal Defense: White Collar, Criminal Defense: General Practice, Intellectual Property Litigation, Securities Litigation and Media Law.

In August, 16 Hueston Hennigan lawyers were honored on the “Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch in America” list, and 14 were named to “The Best Lawyers in America” list. Additionally, John Hueston was recognized as a 2026 “Lawyer of the Year” in Los Angeles in two categories: Criminal Defense: White Collar and Trade Secrets Law. Only a single lawyer in each practice area and designated metropolitan area is honored as the “Lawyer of the Year,” so it’s quite rare for one lawyer to be recognized with two “Lawyer of the Year” accolades.
