Lawyers Sahar Maali and John O'Toole of WilmerHale have been recognized by Lawdragon in their 500 X - The Next Generation list.
In the world of law, two distinguished lawyers from WilmerHale have been honoured in the 2025 edition of Lawdragon 500 X – The Next Generation. This prestigious recognition highlights the leading attorneys who are shaping the future of global law practice.
Among these notable individuals is Sahar Maali, who specializes in white collar criminal defense, government and internal investigations, and regulatory compliance. Her international practice extends across various industries, including financial services, technology, healthcare, and cryptocurrency. One of her key commitments is to pro bono work related to immigration matters.
On the other hand, John O'Toole focuses on antitrust and competition law, representing clients in criminal investigations, civil litigation, and merger reviews. He is renowned for his strong pro bono practice, particularly in advocating for LGBTQIA+ rights. John O'Toole's international practice spans industries, but it is not explicitly stated in this paragraph. He has also been recognized as a "Rising Star" in antitrust litigation.
It's worth noting that unlike John O'Toole, Sahar Maali's pro bono commitment is related to immigration-related matters. Additionally, Sahar Maali's specialization does not include white collar criminal defense, government and internal investigations, or regulatory compliance, unlike John O'Toole's primary focus.
This duo at WilmerHale continues to make significant strides in their respective fields, contributing to the evolving landscape of global law practice.
