Kershaw Talley Barlow is pleased to announce that four of our attorneys have been included in the 2026 edition of Northern California Super Lawyers and Rising Stars.
These annual lists recognize attorneys who have earned strong peer recognition following an independent, research-driven selection process.
This year’s honorees included:

Super Lawyers recognizes no more than five percent of attorneys in each state, while Rising Stars honors no more than 2.5 percent of attorneys who are 40 years old or younger or who have been in practice for ten years or less. Selection is based on peer nominations, independent research, and evaluation within each practice area.
These recognitions reflect the depth of experience our attorneys bring to complex litigation. At Kershaw Talley Barlow, we represent thousands of clients in class action and mass tort cases involving defective products, toxic exposure, and other large-scale harms, and our attorneys have recovered substantial compensation on their behalf.
We congratulate Partners William A. Kershaw, Stuart C. Talley, and Ian J. Barlow, and Attorney Jack Davis on their well-earned recognition in the 2026 Super Lawyers and Rising Stars publications.
