The firm is similarly “Highly Recommended,” for Second Circuit Litigation – New York and also recommended for Federal Circuit Litigation in the inaugural Benchmark Appellate 2012 guide. The firm is named “Highly Recommended” for Plaintiff Litigation as well. Several of our partners are recognized as “Stars” throughout the guide, as listed below.
A Euromoney/Institutional Investor publication, Benchmark Litigation identifies the leading U.S. trial attorneys and firms at the local and national levels. The rankings and editorials are the result of extensive interviews with private practice lawyers and in-house counsel. The guide’s “Stars” are named based on peer and client recognition as top trial attorneys.
