The fifth annual program encourages law firms, corporations, nonprofits, and government agencies across the United States to nominate outstanding attorneys. A team of editors assesses candidates for this award based on records of success for clients, leadership service, and commitment to pro bono work.
The list of young lawyers was selected based on their ability to “excel at client work at their law firms and companies, take on weighty leadership roles, and still make time for mentorship and pro bono work,” according to the publication.
Borock counsels private equity funds, family offices, equity investors, sponsors, property owners, developers, and public agencies on a wide variety of commercial real estate matters. His experience includes acquisitions, dispositions, financings, joint ventures, development, and leasing.
