The POWER List: Medical Malpractice Litigation 2026

Medical malpractice litigation is among the most technically demanding areas of civil law. Cases often hinge on competing expert testimony, intricate standards of care and the challenge of translating complex medical realities into legal arguments that judges and juries can weigh. The margin for error is narrow, and the stakes — for patients, for healthcare providers and for the institutions that serve them — are rarely abstract.

Attorneys who practice in this field, whether on behalf of plaintiffs seeking accountability or defendants contesting liability, must maintain a level of preparation and precision that few areas of practice demand. They navigate a space where medicine and law overlap in consequential ways, and where the outcomes of individual cases can influence how care is delivered and how responsibility is assigned.

The attorneys featured in the following pages have built their practices at that intersection. Their work reflects the depth and rigor this area of law requires.

As always, this is a subjective enterprise. Let us know if there are attorneys who should have been included — and watch for further editions of The POWER List coming in 2026.
