White Plains, NY (July 02, 2026) – Yankwitt LLP, Westchester County’s go-to law firm for high-stakes, bet-the-company litigation, continues its tradition of excellence with 10 attorneys selected with the New York Metro Super Lawyers and Rising Stars list. The attorneys were recognized in Business Litigation, Criminal Defense: White Collar, Employment and Appellate.

Founder and managing partner Russell Yankwitt was named to Super Lawyers’ inaugural list of the Top 5 New York Business Litigation Attorneys, becoming the only attorney from outside of Manhattan to receive the distinction. He was also listed again in the New York Top 100 and 10, and the Top 25 in Westchester County.

“I am honored to be named to Super Lawyers’ inaugural Top 5 Business Litigation list,” said Russell Yankwitt. “Being the only attorney selected from outside Manhattan makes this recognition especially meaningful. I am grateful to my peers for this honor and congratulate the outstanding attorneys who were recognized alongside me: my friends Marc Cohen and Paul Sarkozi, my longtime friend and mentor Scott Musoff and accomplished attorney Janice Mac Avoy.”

“I am equally proud that 10 of our attorneys were recognized this year. These honors reflect the talent, dedication, and relentless advocacy of our lawyers and reinforce Yankwitt LLP’s position as Westchester’s go-to firm for high-stakes bet-the-company litigation.”

Super Lawyers are selected from just 5 percent of outstanding lawyers who have attained a high degree of peer recognition and professional achievement. Rising Stars are selected from only 2.5 percent of attorneys under 40 or in practice for less than 10 years.

This recognition adds to Yankwitt LLP and its attorneys’ recent honors from Chambers USA, Benchmark Litigation, Legal 500, Martindale-Hubbell, Crain’s New York Business, National Law Journal, Best Lawyers, and Best Law Firms. The firm has also been named a Best Place to Work in New York, Westchester, Law Firms and for Women.
