Horton is listed in the 2016 edition of Best Lawyers for his work in securities litigation, marking his third consecutive selection to the exclusive listing. He represents plaintiffs and defendants in complex commercial disputes and patent, trade secret, antitrust and securities litigation.
This is Ford’s 10th year to earn a spot in Best Lawyers based on her work in First Amendment law and litigation. She has successfully represented TV networks, publishers, record producers and newspapers for nearly three decades.
