Congratulations to Michael Avidon, Michelle Cox, Jeffrey Davis, Allan Grauberd, Lindsay Kaplan, and Paul Roder on being selected for inclusion in Lawdragon's 2026 500 Leading Dealmakers in America Guide.

Lawdragon describes the 2026 Dealmakers as having a skill that "is a superpower, bringing together the vast knowledge required of a client, its strategy and legal and financial underpinnings, with the momentary apple of its eye – financing, an acquisition, a joint venture, a multi-billion-dollar merger. Working through the morass of detail while steering through the waves and vicissitudes of an industry, an economy and shareholder, worker and executives’ wants and needs. They have clockwork brains, an athlete’s instinct and an overdrive that would make a Formula 1 driver grin. That skill has made these among the most coveted lawyers in the world. Their mere presence can make or break a deal."

Attorneys are selected for inclusion in this guide through Lawdragon's process of combining nominations, independent research and vetting from established dealmakers and clients.
