Columbus CEO has released its 2026 list of Columbus "Top Lawyers." Nine Kegler Brown attorneys appear on this year's peer-ranked listing, representing a broad range of practice areas.

The attorney selection process for Columbus CEO's "Top Lawyers" list was conducted by Michigan-based Professional Research Services (PRS), which administered an online survey to legal professionals and members of the judiciary throughout the Columbus area. Participants were invited to nominate colleagues they considered outstanding in their respective legal specialties. All nominated attorneys underwent a thorough vetting process, including verification of credentials and checks for disciplinary actions through relevant boards, agencies, and rating organizations. Recognition on the list is entirely based on peer evaluations and professional reputation within the legal community. This year's list features 531 peer-recommended attorneys across 59 practice areas.

Kegler Brown is pleased to announce the selection of the following attorneys and their associated fields of practice:

• Steve Barsotti – Corporate Law
• Nicholas Bobb – Construction Law
• Kacie Davis – International Trade Law
• Robert Dove – Energy Law
• Loriann Fuhrer – Litigation, Commercial
• Allen Handlan – Litigation, Banking and Finance
