Lawdragon’s 500 Leading Litigators in America

Miami, FL – Bilzin Sumberg is proud to share that Robert Turken, Senior Trial & Litigation Partner, and Scott Wagner, Trial & Litigation Practice Group Leader and Co-Head of the firm's Antitrust Practice, have been named to The 2027 Lawdragon 500 Leading Litigators in America, a national ranking that spotlights the top 500 courtroom advocates in the country. This marks the fifth consecutive year that Bob and Scott have been recognized.

The honor builds on the continued momentum of Bilzin Sumberg's Antitrust and Trial Practices, where Bob and Scott have delivered standout outcomes for domestic and international clients across the country. Their work on high-stakes opt-out antitrust matters has repeatedly outpaced what plaintiffs recover through class proceedings. In the Capacitors Antitrust proceedings, Bob, Scott, and Lori Lustrin, Co-Head of Bilzin Sumberg’s Antitrust Practice, secured the largest opt-out recovery ever obtained in an antitrust case.

Robert Turken has earned a distinguished reputation serving as lead counsel in numerous complex and high profile matters. He has vast experience representing clients in multidistrict class actions and antitrust opt-out actions related to price fixing and conspiracy claims. His significant representations have also covered securities litigation and financial services litigation.

Scott Wagner is a veteran litigator of high-stakes disputes. He maintains a thriving antitrust and complex litigation practice. Scott’s international practice includes representing electronics distributors and manufacturers, as well as food and beverage companies, throughout the world on competition and antitrust issues. Scott also serves as trusted counsel to public and private companies, entrepreneurs and developers, rendering high-level legal and strategic advice on matters related to business competition and antitrust issues.

Courtroom results factor directly into how Lawdragon builds this list each year. Following on their extraordinary result in the Capacitors trial, Bob, Scott, and Lori currently represent 13 national and global restaurant chain clients in claims against the major manufacturers of broiler chickens in the U.S. The claims involve approximately $5 billion in purchases. These clients were the first of over 150 opt-out plaintiffs to assert claims predicated on a bid rigging conspiracy targeted at restaurants, which were the subject of a Department of Justice Indictment against multiple chicken producers and their executives. Scott also achieved a $20 million verdict on behalf of an investor who financed several film and television products under false pretenses. The verdict was recently affirmed by the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals.
