New York, NY—Law360 named New York Litigation partner Justin Kattan and Phoenix Hotels and Leisure senior managing associate Christopher Lee to its 2014 “Rising Stars” list, which honors lawyers whose legal accomplishments belie their age. Tony was selected in the Class Action category, Justin in the Insurance category and Chris in the Hospitality category. All three were profiled by Law360 as a part of the series.

Justin is a “formidable litigator” experienced in a wide range of litigation areas, including insurance coverage disputes, intellectual property, real estate, tax and complex contractual disputes. Although he is recognized in the Insurance category, Law360 cites his outstanding adaptability across practices and sectors as a principal characteristic that has earned him the “Rising Stars” recognition. Justin’s exceptional representation of an insurer in the highly public World Trade Center property insurance “occurrence” dispute, as well as his ongoing representation of insurance carriers and financial institutions in real estate, tax and complex financial products-related disputes demonstrate the breadth and depth of his litigation experience. Justin is the head of Dentons' pro bono moot court and mock trial mentoring program for disadvantaged high school students, as well as co-leader of the Firm’s summer associate program.

Chris is a member of the Firm’s acclaimed Hotels and Leisure practice, which has been ranked as National Band 1 in Chambers USA since the category’s inception for seven consecutive years and was recently recognized by Law360 as one of its Hospitality Practice Groups of the Year. Chris has also been named a “Rising Star” by Southwest Superlawyers in 2013, recognizing his extensive knowledge of, and in-depth insight into, the hotel and leisure industry. Law360 noted his key role on teams representing Hilton Worldwide and Brookfield Real Estate Financial Partners in high profile properties around the world as a deciding factor in his “Rising Stars” inclusion, praising him as a “fast mover” at the Firm.
