Award

Three Constangy attorneys have been recognized in JD Supra’s 2026 Readers’ Choice Awards, an annual distinction that highlights the legal authors and articles that generated the highest levels of reader engagement during the past year. The awards reflect the topics and insights that resonated most with in-house counsel, business leaders, and other professionals across the country.

Recognition for Legal Insight

Each year, JD Supra analyzes reader engagement across thousands of legal authors publishing on the platform. A select group is recognized for exceptional visibility and impact within specific practice areas.

This year, Constangy attorneys were honored in both the Top Authors and Top Read Articles categories:

Top Authors

  • Cara Crotty – Government Contracting
  • Robin Shea – Labor & Employment

Top Read Articles

These recognitions underscore Constangy’s ongoing commitment to delivering timely, practical analysis on rapidly evolving workplace, regulatory, and compliance developments.

Spotlight on This Year’s Honorees

Cara Crotty earned dual recognition as both a Top Author in Government Contracting and for one of the most-read articles in the category. Her analysis of the rescission of Executive Order 11246 provided important guidance to federal contractors navigating significant regulatory change.

Robin Shea, recognized as a Top Author in Labor & Employment, continues to be a leading voice on workplace compliance and litigation trends. Her writing consistently offers clear, actionable insight for employers facing complex employment law challenges.

Barbara Kihumba’s article addressing proposed changes to the Optional Practical Training (OPT) program was among the most-read in the Education category. Her piece explored the potential implications of immigration policy shifts for educational institutions and international students.

How JD Supra’s Awards Are Determined

JD Supra’s Readers’ Choice Awards are based on a data-driven review of reader engagement across key legal topics. For the 2026 awards, JD Supra analyzed 2025 readership data, recognizing:

  • Top authors in each subject category for consistent engagement
  • The most-read articles within each category
  • One law firm per category for exceptional visibility and impact

These awards highlight not only subject-matter expertise, but also the ability to communicate complex legal developments in a way that informs and engages the broader business and legal community.

Constangy congratulates Cara, Robin, and Barbara on this well-deserved recognition.
