Hintze Law Recognitions

Hintze Lawyers Recognized in 2026’s Best Lawyers in America

This year, eight of Hintze Law’s attorneys have been recognized by Best Lawyers® across a variety of categories, marking a significant milestone for the firm. Every one of our associates earned recognition, reflecting both the breadth of talent within our team and the dedication each attorney brings to their practice.

Partners Alex Schlight and Taylor Widawski received recognition this year; both partners being recognized in the Technology Law area and Alex also recognized in Privacy and Data Security Law, joining long-standing Best Lawyers® honorees Susan and Mike Hintze. In the last year, both Alex and Taylor also received recognition as SuperLawyers, highlighting their ongoing leadership and expertise in privacy law. In addition, Alex and Taylor serve as co-chairs of Hintze Law’s Artificial Intelligence + Machine Learning Privacy group, with Taylor also holding the role of co-chair for the firm’s Fintech + Financial Services Privacy group.

We are also proud of our associates, all of whom earned recognition for their expertise in Privacy and Data Security Law for the first time this year:  Cameron Cantrell, Hansenard Piou, Felicity Slater, and Leslie Veloz. Their inclusion among this year’s honorees reflects not only their individual skill and dedication, but also the strength of our expertise, collaboration, and commitment to professional growth as a firm. This milestone is a testament to the hard work they have invested in their practices, the high standards they uphold for our clients, and the bright future they represent for our team.

Susan Hintze, Co-Managing Partner, has been voted the 2026 "Lawyer of the Year" for Information Technology Law in Seattle and recognized in the practice areas of Advertising Law.
