2026 HERALD Top Lawyers of Long Island Awards Gala

The annual HERALD Top Lawyers of Long Island Awards recognizes and celebrates L.I.'s leaders in the legal field.

The annual Top Lawyers of Long Island Awards, presented by Steno, recognizes and celebrates the vital role attorneys play in society as defenders of justice, protectors of individual rights, and facilitators of complex legal processes. Through advocacy, leadership, and community involvement, these professionals promote accountability, safeguard civil liberties, and uphold the rule of law — making them indispensable to the foundation of a just society.

In partnership with Steno, a national leader in court reporting, litigation support, and legal technology, the program now further elevates the visibility and impact of Long Island’s legal community. Together, RichnerLIVE and Steno are expanding the platform beyond an annual celebration to create year-round recognition, thought leadership, and industry engagement — reinforcing a shared commitment to innovation, access to justice, and the continued advancement of the legal profession.
