Johnston Tobey Baruch Earns 2026 Best Law Firms Nod for Breadth of Litigation and Appellate Success

Firm earns top-tier distinctions across appellate, commercial litigation, and professional liability practices

DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Trial and appellate firm Johnston Tobey Baruch has been recognized in the 2026 Best Law Firms guide for its strength across multiple high-stakes litigation practices in the Dallas–Fort Worth region.

The firm earned top-tier recognition for the Dallas-Fort Worth area from the respected legal guide in seven practice areas:

• Appellate Practice
• Commercial Litigation
• Legal Malpractice Law for Defendants
• Legal Malpractice Law for Plaintiffs
• Mergers and Acquisitions Litigation
• Professional Malpractice Law for Defendants
• Professional Malpractice Law for Plaintiffs

The firm also earned distinction for its experience in “bet-the-company" litigation, reflecting the complex, high-value nature of many matters the team handles.

“Our focus has always been simple: do the work the right way, for the right reasons,” said managing shareholder Chad Baruch. “We are honored that our peers and clients continue to recognize the quality of what we do and the seriousness with which we treat every case.”

The Best Law Firms guide is based on a data-driven evaluation that includes client feedback, peer reviews and demonstrated professional excellence.

Eligibility for the firm’s rankings stems from recognition in The Best Lawyers in America, where Mr. Baruch, Randy Johnston, and Robert Tobey were all honored in the 2026 edition. Earlier this year, Mr. Johnston also received a Lifetime Achievement Award from ALM/Law.com for his contributions to the legal profession and the advancement of legal ethics.

The firm’s recent work includes a notable ruling from the 8th Court of Appeals in El Paso, providing guidance for cross-border litigants and multinational disputes involving issues of finality, comity, and enforcement of foreign judgments.
