The accolades stem from a rigorous peer-review process that selects only one attorney per practice area in each metropolitan region. Beyond the individual honors for the firm's founders, 12 attorneys from the practice were included in the 2027 edition of Best Lawyers and Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch in America. This recognition arrives as the firm continues to secure massive verdicts in high-stakes litigation, including a record $2.065 billion award in Georgia last year involving Roundup litigation and an $8 billion verdict against Johnson & Johnson in 2019.
Arnold & Itkin Founders Named 2027 Lawyers of the Year
Kurt Arnold and Jason Itkin have secured the 2027 Lawyer of the Year designations from Best Lawyers, marking a significant peer-reviewed milestone for the Houston-based trial firm. Arnold earned the honor for mass tort and class action litigation, while Itkin was recognized for his specialized expertise in admiralty and maritime law.
Throughout their two-decade history, the firm has established a reputation for handling catastrophic injury and maritime cases. Following the 2010 Deepwater Horizon explosion, Arnold & Itkin represented a third of the surviving crew, eventually securing a $171 million confidential settlement. Their track record also features a $193 million settlement for workers injured in a pipeline explosion, which remains one of the largest awards for such a case in U.S. history.
