Henson Efron is proud to announce that 24 attorneys have been recognized in the 2026 Minnesota Super Lawyers and Rising Stars lists, a reflection of the firm's depth of talent across litigation, family law, business law, estate planning and probate.

The 2026 results include several outstanding individual distinctions. Lisa Spencer was named among Minnesota's Top 10 attorneys overall, while both Lisa Spencer and Alan Eidsness earned places on the prestigious Top 5 Family Law list. Four Henson Efron attorneys were also recognized among Minnesota's Top 100, including two named to the Top 50 Women list.

Published annually by Super Lawyers, part of Thomson Reuters, the rankings recognize attorneys who have attained a high degree of peer recognition and professional achievement. The selection process combines peer nominations, independent research and peer evaluations. Only the top 5% of attorneys are named Super Lawyers, while just 2.5% are selected as Rising Stars, a distinction reserved for lawyers aged 40 or younger or in practice for ten years or less.
