SCOTTSDALE – July 27, 2026 – Aprio Legal is proud to announce John Gilbert, Aprio Legal Director, has been recognized for excellence in real estate by Super Lawyers in its 2026 Southwest Super Lawyers edition.
Super Lawyers recognizes leading attorneys nationwide annually, using a multiphase selection process that combines peer nominations and evaluations with independent research. Candidates are assessed across 12 key indicators of peer recognition and professional accomplishment.
John specializes in advising startups and high-growth companies on complex transactions, contracts, and leases, with an emphasis on real estate matters. With more than 50 years of experience, he helps clients navigate business opportunities and strategic growth initiatives to help ensure long-term success. He was recently recognized by the State Bar of Arizona for 50 years of service and has been named to Super Lawyers annually since 2015, marking a career built on a lasting commitment to clients and the broader Arizona community.
“This recognition reflects something deeper than individual achievement,” said Andy Kvesic, CEO of Aprio Legal. “John is exactly the kind of client-focused attorney Aprio Legal is built around. Professionals who deliver counsel at the highest level and do it as part of a fully integrated platform, working alongside our tax, advisory, and accounting teams to give clients more complete, more strategic guidance.”
John’s recognition adds to a year of momentum for Aprio Legal. In 2026, the firm earned a series of honors from AZ Big Media, which named Aprio Legal among Arizona’s top companies to watch and top lawyers, one of Arizona’s 10 most innovative law firms, and among the companies shaping the state’s economy in 2026.
