Stark & Knoll attorneys were previously honored as Lawyers of the Year in Corporate Law. Craig Marshall received the honor in 2011 and Tom Knoll in 2010.

First published in 1983, Best Lawyers has become universally regarded as the definitive guide to legal excellence. Because lawyers are not allowed to pay a fee to be listed, inclusion in Best Lawyers is considered a singular honor. Corporate Counsel magazine has called Best Lawyers “the most respected referral list of attorneys in practice.”
