Sep 09, 2025

SALT LAKE CITY – Snell & Wilmer is pleased to announce that 26 attorneys from the Salt Lake City office have been named to the 2025 edition of Mountain States Super Lawyers. Among those honored, 12 attorneys earned recognition on the Rising Stars list.

Super Lawyers highlights attorneys across more than 70 practice areas who have achieved significant professional accomplishments and earned the respect of their peers. Selection is determined through a rigorous, multi-step process involving independent research, peer nominations, and peer evaluations. The publication, first released in 1991 by Law & Politics and later acquired by Thomson Reuters in 2010, continues to be a trusted resource for identifying distinguished attorneys.

The following Utah Snell & Wilmer attorneys were selected for inclusion in the 2025 Mountain States Super Lawyers rankings:
