NJBIZ has included Christopher Porrino, partner and Chair of Lowenstein Sandler’s  Litigation Department, and the firm’s Chief Operating Officer, Michael R. Caplan, on its 2025 Law Power list.

Porrino, former New Jersey Attorney General and Chief Counsel under Governor Chris Christie, is called a “well-known legal powerhouse,” one of “several former state officials to join the team at Lowenstein Sandler following service in the public sphere.

Noting Caplan’s “more than 25 years of operational experience, including roles at both global corporate legal departments and large law firms,” NJBIZ says he “brings a unique perspective as COO... He has worked with more than 30 general counsels on managing data analytics, technology project implementation, law firm relationship management and financial management, consistently seeking improved efficiency.”  It concludes: “Lowenstein is a destination for talented professionals who are attracted by its culture of excellence and collaboration—and Caplan’s leadership has been instrumental in this success.”

These individuals were also listed on NJBIZ’s 2024 Law Power list.

The Power lists are compiled by the NJBIZ editorial staff based on their reporting throughout the past year with input from experts in a variety of fields and recommendations from our readers. The staff looks for people who have gained public attention—and perhaps acclaim—for their professional accomplishments and public service. Each list identifies individuals who, through their efforts, are helping to make New Jersey a better place to live, work and do business. Honorees are not necessarily better at their jobs than others in their profession, but they have contributed meaningfully to the advancement of the public interest through their work and/or community service.
