This year marks a shift in the publication’s methodology, as Super Lawyers introduced separate practice area rankings for the first time. Hershenhorn’s placement highlights his influence within the legal community, particularly for his work on high-stakes negligence cases. His track record includes a landmark $272.5 million settlement related to the Tribeca crane collapse, a figure recognized as the largest construction accident settlement in New York history.

Representing Gair, Gair, Conason, Rubinowitz, Bloom, Hershenhorn, Steigman & Mackauf, he has built a career focused on catastrophic injury, wrongful death, and complex malpractice claims. His firm, which has operated in New York for over a century, also received recognition as a top personal injury practice in the 2026 edition. These rankings reinforce Hershenhorn's reputation for courtroom advocacy in cases involving severe, life-altering tragedies across the state.
