Loeb & Loeb is pleased to share that the firm and 13 Loeb partners have been recognized in the 2026 edition of Benchmark Litigation, the definitive guide to the world's leading litigation law firms and lawyers.
Specifically, the guide recommended Loeb for excellence in Dispute Resolution within the California and Illinois regions.
In a related profile, the firm is recognized for its broad capabilities and longstanding presence in the entertainment sector. One source told Benchmark Litigation, “For entertainment litigation, they are really quite dominant. They have some strong connections there, some very high-profile clients.” The strength of Loeb’s Trust & Estate Litigation practice is also highlighted, with one contributor noting that Loeb has “one of the best trusts and estates groups in the country, and this is going to be a crazy growth area.”
This year’s rankings also highlight the growing depth of the firm’s Litigation bench, with individual lawyers recognized across a broad range of practice areas, including Labor & Employment Litigation, Trust & Estate Litigation and increased representation in Commercial Litigation.

Since its inception in 2008, Benchmark Litigation has been the only publication on the market to focus exclusively on litigation in the U.S. Research is conducted through extensive interviews with litigators, dispute resolution specialists and their clients to identify the leading litigators and firms. During these interviews, the guide’s researchers examine recent casework handled by law firms and ask individual litigators to provide their professional opinions on peers and practitioners within their jurisdiction or practice area.
