Durham, Pittard & Spalding Earns 2026 ‘Best Law Firms’ Recognition Across All Offices

Durham, Pittard & Spalding is proud to announce that all three of its offices have been recognized in the 2026 edition of Best Law Firms, underscoring the firm’s continued excellence in appellate advocacy on behalf of plaintiffs in high-stakes litigation. 

Widely regarded as one of the legal profession’s most respected benchmarks, Best Law Firms rankings are based on comprehensive client and peer feedback, along with independent evaluations of each firm’s expertise, professionalism, and results on behalf of clients. 

This recognition follows the selection earlier this year of Lara Hollingsworth, Justin R. Kaufman, Kirk Pittard, Thad Spalding, and Rick Thompson for The Best Lawyers in America® 2026 based on their work in appellate law, as well as “Ones to Watch” honors for Aditi Deal — recognition that qualified the firm for consideration in this year’s Best Law Firms rankings.
