Best Lawyers® honored AEL and three of its attorneys again this year.

AEL has been recognized again by “Best Lawyers” as a 2025 “Best Law Firm” in the area of Health Care Law. Additionally, four AEL attorneys took home individual honors. Partners Ken Abell and Scott Landau were named “Best Lawyers” in the category of Health Care Law. And associates Scott Glicksman and Raquel Frier were each named “Ones to Watch.”

The Best Lawyers in America list is one of the most reputable and recognized rankings of attorneys across the nation. Those honored on the list are divided by geographic region and practice area(s) and their work undergoes a significant peer review process.

Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch in America recognizes associates and other attorneys who are at earlier stages of their careers for their impressive performance and professional excellence in private practice. Although slightly newer than the traditional The Best Lawyers in America list, Ones to Watch utilizes the same robust peer-review process and methodology.

AEL proudly recognizes partner Jarrod L. Schaeffer for his selection to Benchmark Litigation’s 40 and Under List. Jarrod, a former federal prosecutor who worked in the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York, was included in the 2024 list recognizing the “top emerging talent in litigation” from across the United States.

This most recent selection continues a streak of prestigious honors for Jarrod in 2024. Earlier this year, Jarrod was recognized as a rising star in the legal profession by Lawdragon, which named him to their “500 X – The Next Generation” list. Jarrod joined AEL in 2024 and focuses his practice on white collar criminal defense, government investigations, internal investigations, and complex commercial litigation, with a particular focus on matters involving allegations of bribery and corruption, complex fraud, international money laundering, healthcare fraud and novel issues such as artificial intelligence (AI), cryptocurrency, and cybercrime.
