Johnston Tobey Baruch Partner Named to Lawdragon’s 500 Leading Lawyers in America

Chad Baruch earns place on annual list for appellate work

Johnston Tobey Baruch continues to earn recognition for its appellate work with name partner Chad Baruch’s selection to Lawdragon’s list of 500 Leading Lawyers in America for 2024.

“My journey in the legal profession has been fueled by a commitment to excellence and a passion for serving the Texas community,” said Mr. Baruch, who also is the firm’s managing shareholder. “I am truly honored to be recognized by Lawdragon as among the distinguished 500 Leading Lawyers in America for 2024.”

Mr. Baruch’s practice involves work on high-stakes civil and family law appeals, constitutional issues, legal ethics, and representation of judges before the State Commission on Judicial Conduct. He served as the 85th chair of the State Bar of Texas Board of Directors and remains the only Jewish lawyer in Texas history to be chair or president of the State Bar. He also chaired the Texas Bar College and was one of two nominees for president of the State Bar of Texas in 2017.

In addition to this year’s Lawdragon award, Mr. Baruch has been cited as a Texas Super Lawyer by Thompson Reuters and as one of the “Best Lawyers in Dallas” by D Magazine each year since 2011.

"Chad has been a leader and mentor within the legal industry,” said Randy Johnston. “This year’s list wouldn't be complete without recognizing his contributions to the Texas legal community.”

Lawdragon’s guide features “all-star litigators” from 100 firms who excel in representing corporations and other organizations in litigating claims involving antitrust, securities, financial, M&A, intellectual property and patents, product liability, mass tort, white collar, government investigations and energy disputes.

The publication selected honorees using nominations plus independent research focused on recent cases and defense verdicts or settlements. Lawdragon says its honorees represent "the hope and promise of America’s legal profession.”
