The Washingtonian has once again named Lisa Blatt to its 2025 list of the “Most Powerful Women in Washington,” a designation Lisa has received every year since the inaugural list in 2011. According to the publication, this year’s edition recognizes nearly 250 of the Washington, D.C. region’s most influential women in politics, business, law, medicine, education, media, nonprofits, and the arts, who “define the agenda and determine the course of action in their enterprises.” This year’s edition highlights Lisa’s accomplishments: “Earlier this year, three law professors released a study on Supreme Court litigation concluding that a ‘handful of elite lawyers increasingly dominate’ the field. Blatt, who has argued 54 cases before the high court, was the winning¬est lawyer in the bunch, with an 83-percent success rate—and the only woman on the list.”

In September 2025 Lisa was featured by Legalytics in “The Supreme Court’s Quiet Power Players (2017-2024).” According to the publication, Lisa has a “rare ‘wins-anywhere’ profile” and is one of the most effective private firm attorneys at persuading the U.S. Supreme Court to grant certiorari, often with minimal amicus support.* Among the twelve private attorneys profiled, Lisa had the highest cert grant rate with about 50% of her petitions granted.
