Bluestein Attorneys is pleased to announce that two of its partners, Clarke Newton and Allison Sullivan, have been named to Columbia Business Monthly’s “Legal Elite” list for 2026.
Published annually since 2010, the list honors lawyers peers consider outstanding in their practice areas. Selection begins with a nomination from a fellow attorney and is decided by a vote of active lawyers across South Carolina.
Clarke Newton has been recognized for his work in Personal Injury – Plaintiff, and Allison Sullivan for her representation in Workers’ Compensation – Plaintiff. The pair have appeared on the Legal Elite list in previous years for the same practice areas and have also been recognized multiple times each by Best Lawyers in America® and South Carolina Super Lawyers®.
“Clarke and Allison work tirelessly for their clients every day,” said founding partner Marti Bluestein. “We couldn’t be prouder to see that dedication recognized again by their peers.”
The 2026 “Legal Elite” is published in the August editions of Columbia Business Monthly, Greenville Business Magazine, Charleston Business Magazine, B2B: The Grand Strand, and B2B: Pee Dee Business.
