JACKSON —Natchez native Margaret Oertling Cupples was recently recognized as a star litigator in the 2016 edition of “Benchmark Litigation.”

Cupples is a Jackson partner at Bradley Arant, which the publication named a highly recommended Mississippi firm. Cupples was also one of seven attorneys with the firm who were recognized as a star litigators.

Benchmark annually publishes its rankings of U.S. litigation firms and lawyers in multiple practice areas as determined partly through interviews with the nation’s leading private practice lawyers and in-house counsel. Highly recommended firms received the most positive mentions during interviews. Litigation stars are those attorneys in each state who were recommended consistently as being reputable and effective litigators by their clients and peers.

“We are very pleased with our representation in the 2016 Benchmark Litigation guide, and appreciate the commendations from our respected clients and peers,” said Bradley Arant’s Chairman of the Board and Managing Partner Beau Grenier. “It is gratifying to know that our efforts to provide client-centric, high-quality service are being recognized.”
