All attorneys at Lewis Babcock honored in 2027 “Best Lawyers in America”

​Once again, all three partners at Lewis Babcock are included in “The Best Lawyers in America®,” an annual directory of the country’s leading attorneys.
 
The 2027 edition released today includes honors for the Lewis Babcock attorneys in Columbia in seven different practice areas:
 
Keith Babcock: Eminent Domain and Condemnation Law; Ethics and Professional Responsibility Law; and Legal Malpractice Law – Plaintiffs.
 
Joseph Berry: Commercial Litigation; Eminent Domain and Condemnation Law; and Litigation – Real Estate.
 
Ariail E. King: Appellate Practice and Mass Tort Litigation/Class Action – Plaintiffs.
 
This marks the fourth consecutive year that all three have been included in either “Best Lawyers” or its companion piece for attorneys with less than 10 years’ practice, “Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch.”
 
Firm co-founder Keith Babcock has been included in every "Best Lawyers" edition since 2007. Ariail King has earned honors in four consecutive editions. Joseph Berry is honored for a second time in "Best Lawyers" after previously being included in three editions of "Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch."
 
For more than 40 years, “Best Lawyers” has aimed to capture a consensus opinion about the abilities of other attorneys in the same practice area and same cities. The "Best Lawyers" selection process begins with a nomination, followed by peer voting. The “Best Lawyers” staff conducts independent research before final selections are made.
 
A related directory, "Best Law Firms®," is released every November. In the 2026 edition, Lewis Babcock was named a Tier 1 firm in Columbia for Ethics and Professional Responsibility Law, and a Tier 2 firm in Columbia for Appellate Practice and Mass Tort Litigation/Class Action – Plaintiffs.
