LBKM Earns National Ranking in Legal 500’s List of Top White-Collar Boutique Firms
Lewis Baach Kaufmann Middlemiss is proud to be recognized in the 2026 Legal 500 United States for its boutique white-collar crime practice. This is the first time LBKM has been named to Legal 500’s nationwide list.
In including LBKM, the Legal 500 editorial team describes how the firm “defends a wide variety of clients in white-collar crime cases, from HNW individuals, executives, and government officials to banks, hedge funds, and public companies. With a focus on financial crime matters, the team regularly handles fraud investigations relating to tax, securities, and cryptocurrencies.”
Legal 500 notes that the practice “benefits from the joint leadership of former federal prosecutors Adam Kaufmann and Anthony Capozzolo,” with Kaufmann recommended for his “foreign law expertise” and Capozzolo for his “knowledge of DOJ and SEC procedures.”
Teammate Cristián Francos is also singled out for his “technical legal expertise, cultural fluency, and practical experience that is highly valued by clients operating across Latin America and the U.S."
Published annually, The Legal 500 United States identifies the country's leading law firms and attorneys based on client interviews, attorney submissions, peer feedback, and market analysis.
