The nomination period for the 2026–2027 Leading Lawyers is officially open to all legal professionals in the Chesapeake Bay region. Lawyers (and judges) currently practicing law are encouraged to nominate their legal peers in more than 35 legal specialties for this distinguished honor that recognizes the best local lawyers. You may fill in either or both surveys—one for Anne Arundel/Prince George’s counties, and the other for Eastern Shore—as well as any or all of the categories listed on either form. Additionally, you may name up to three attorneys in each category. The voting is completely anonymous. However, for a survey to be counted we do require your business email address. This is to ensure proper peer surveying and no duplicate entries. This is your opportunity to nominate which lawyers should be acknowledged as leaders in their various areas of practice. We thank you in advance for participating in this valuable service. Nominations will close December 31, 2025. Results will be published in our May 2026 issues.
