TAMPA, FL – JD Supra has named Carlton Fields’ Ann Young Black and Brendan Gooley as top authors in its 2026 Readers’ Choice Awards. Black was recognized in the insurance category, and Gooley in the alternative dispute resolution category.

The firm compiles its thought leadership in Expect Focus, a review of developments in the life insurance and financial services industry.
Gooley writes regularly on topics of interest in the insurance industry, which the firm compiles in its Reinsurance Focus blog covering reinsurance and arbitration legal issues.
The Readers’ Choice Awards recognize top authors and firms read by C-suite executives, in-house counsel, media, and other professionals across the JD Supra platform during 2024. Less than one percent of JD Supra authors receive this award each year, covering 31 cross-industry topics.
