NEW ORLEANS – Five lawyers at Sternberg, Naccari & White, LLC have been selected to the 2027 Louisiana Super Lawyers and Rising Stars lists. Suzy Montero, Scott Sternberg and Graham Williams were selected to Louisiana Super Lawyers in Business Litigation, and Chelsea Brener Cusimano and Haley Jupiter were selected to Louisiana Rising Stars. Across their careers, the five have earned a combined 30 Super Lawyers and Rising Stars selections.

“Super Lawyers starts with nominations from other lawyers, so this is recognition from the people who know the work best,” said SNW Managing Partner Scott Sternberg. “Seeing five of our colleagues recognized across business litigation, employment and general litigation says a lot about the depth of this team. Our clients bring us problems that don’t have easy answers, and that depth is what they’re counting on.”
