BENCHMARK LITIGATION RECOGNIZES REID, TSAI AND MADDEN AS AMONG THE TOP TRIAL LAWYERS IN THE NATION
In its 2026 rankings, Benchmark Litigation has profiled the firm’s senior partners, William T. Reid, IV, Lisa S. Tsai, and Eric D. Madden, as Litigation Stars and among the top commercial trial lawyers in the country.
Reid, who Benchmark describes as enjoying “a far-reaching reputation as an all-purpose trial lawyer equipped to handle any case,” was selected to its list of the nation’s Top 100 Trial Lawyers for the seventh consecutive year.
Tsai was described by clients as “battle tested” and able to “run circles around big law teams three times her size.” She was profiled by the publication for, among other matters, successfully leading a “suit on behalf of a partner and co-founder of private-equity entity Emerald Lake Capital Management against several individuals [] alleged to have engaged in a bad-faith scheme to confiscate the client’s valuable partnership interest.”
Madden was profiled for, among other things, successfully recovering $175 million for the Insys Liquidation Trust (successor to Insys Therapeutics), after the company’s illegal off-label marketing scheme led it to bankruptcy. He was described by clients as “a very strategic thinker and extremely thorough.”
Benchmark surveys the landscape and honors the leading litigators and firms across the United States for their achievements. The annual rankings and lists are the culmination of months of research, surveying thousands of referees, and interviewing hundreds of lawyers.
