Anthony V. Lupo Named to Forbes 2026 America’s Top Lawyers List

Now in its third year, the Forbes America’s Top Lawyers list recognizes attorneys who have demonstrated exceptional achievement, leadership, and influence in the legal profession. Thousands of finalists from across the country were evaluated through a comprehensive editorial review process that considered professional reputation, client impact, significant matters, peer and client feedback, industry honors, thought leadership, and recent accomplishments. 

Tony serves as Chairman of ArentFox Schiff and as outside general counsel to leading companies across the fashion, retail, entertainment, and technology sectors. Recognized by Forbes as the “father of fashion law,” he advises some of the world’s most prominent brands on intellectual property, advertising, corporate, transactional, regulatory, and emerging technology matters. As leader of the firm’s Fashion & Retail group, he has helped build the largest fashion-focused legal practice of any major US law firm. 

In addition to his work in the fashion industry, Tony is widely recognized as a leader in retail, e-commerce, and intellectual property law. Law360 named him one of the top three retail and e-commerce lawyers in the United States, while Chambers USA has consistently ranked him among Washington, DC’s leading intellectual property lawyers. The Washington Business Journal has recognized him as the District’s top intellectual property attorney, and World Trademark Review 1000 has praised him as “top-tier counsel” for both contentious and non-contentious matters. The Washington Post has described Tony as having built a “career out of breaking the mold of a typical DC regulatory lawyer” while maintaining a “bustling entertainment practice that could rival that of a California firm.”
