Ten Nelson Mullins attorneys have been named to the 2026 Thomson Reuters "Stand-out Lawyers" list. The annual recognition is based on the Sharplegal study, which surveys more than 2,000 senior legal buyers worldwide. Participants are asked to nominate lawyers they have worked with over the past 12 months who made a significant impression through exceptional service and performance.

Partners Brennan Ryan, Charles G. Zug, David Ogles, David Stone, John F. Kuppens, Karl Viehman, Kraig B. Long, Martin W. Gitlin, Shawtina F. Lewis, and Terri S. Reiskin were among those recognized this year.

According to Thomson Reuters, "Stand-out Lawyers" are client-nominated professionals recognized for their outstanding ability to improve client satisfaction, increase client advocacy, strengthen brand reputation, inspire team engagement, expand business opportunities, and drive increased profitability for their firms.
