Bailey & Glasser, LLP partners Brian A. Glasser, Katherine E. Charonko, Cary Joshi, and David L. Selby II have been named to the 2027 Lawdragon 500 Leading Litigators in America list. This recognition honors the nation’s most accomplished courtroom advocates and highlights the firm’s ongoing success in complex litigation, mass torts, appellate advocacy, and e-discovery.

According to Lawdragon’s 2027 press release:

We’re honored to introduce The 2027 Lawdragon 500 Leading Litigators in America. The U.S. trial bar is without peer throughout the world. And these are its stars.

When we founded this guide five years ago, our intention was guided by the perceived wisdom that trial titan ‘Litigators’ were principally from fancy firms and working on behalf of the defense. Well, it takes two – or 200 – to tango. And as we’ve traveled thousands of miles talking to a like number of lawyers, we can only think of Roy Scheider as he understood what he was facing. “You’re going to need a bigger boat.” He, of course, was referring to Jaws, and we are referring with the utmost regard to the 4,000 lawyers honored here who have one thing in common: They excel at the art of advocacy before juries, judges and other decision makers on behalf of their clients.

They represent securities litigators on both sides, mass tort defenders and plaintiffs, criminal defense lawyers and white-collar experts. There are appellate artists, class action stars, energy experts and IP and trade secret lawyers. Among many, many others.

The guide still follows the path of ‘500’ lawyers in each of those and other expertise you can sort by ‘practice.’ As Lawdragon fans know, it’s a brand that has in many cases grown from a number. And that’s to allow us to honor the brilliant lawyers who bring justice to life.

Bailey Glasser partner Joshua I. Hammack has earned a spot on Benchmark Litigation’s Benchmark 40 and Under US 2026 List, which recognizes leading litigators aged 40 and younger across the country. Joshua is recognized in the Northeast region for his appellate and commercial litigation work. This marks his third consecutive year receiving this honor.

According to Benchmark Litigation, the 2026 guide is the most comprehensive to date, featuring 615 lawyers. The publication describes the honorees as among the “best and brightest litigators” in the United States and the country’s “top emerging talent in litigation.”

This recognition is indeed fitting as Joshua will be arguing an important appeal before the Supreme Court of the United States in October 2026: Salazar v. Paramount Global, a closely watched case concerning the scope of the federal Video Privacy Protection Act (VPPA). The case has received nationwide attention, including Bailey Glasser being named a Law360 “Legal Lion of the Week” following the Supreme Court’s decision to grant certiorari. Just this year, Joshua has led multiple Bailey Glasser appellate teams to victories in the Second and Fifth Circuits, securing affirmances of $20 million and $40 million judgments. And, in addition to October’s Supreme Court argument, Joshua will argue two cases before the Fourth Circuit, and one before the Eleventh Circuit, later this year.

After nearly two years of changing deadlines, court rulings, and regulatory developments, the Corporate Transparency Act (“CTA”) roller coaster has finally come to a halt for U.S. companies and U.S. persons. Bailey Glasser lawyer Paul-Kalvin Collins writes what may be the final chapter of this CTA roller coaster.

On August 11, 2026, the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (“FinCEN”) issued a final rule making permanent the beneficial ownership information (“BOI”) reporting exemptions first established in its March 2025 interim final rule. Under the final rule, U.S. companies and U.S. persons are permanently exempt from requirements to report BOI to FinCEN under the CTA. FinCEN also announced that it will delete previously reported information concerning U.S. persons from its BOI database. The final rule will become effective upon publication in the Federal Register.
