The firm also received 26 "Metropolitan First-Tier Rankings" for a variety of practice areas in 10 U.S. cities, five "Metropolitan Second-Tier Rankings" in five U.S. cities, and five “Metropolitan Third-Tier Rankings” in five U.S. cities.

The U.S. News – Best Lawyers "Best Law Firms" rankings, for the ninth consecutive year, includes rankings in 75 national practice areas and 122 metropolitan-based practice areas. The firms selected are determined by a rigorous evaluation process that asks clients and peers to evaluate firms based on responsiveness, understanding of a business and its needs, cost effectiveness, integrity and civility, as well as whether they would refer a matter to the firm and/or consider the firm a worthy competitor.

About Best Lawyers
Since it was first published in 1983, Best Lawyers has become universally regarded as the definitive guide to legal excellence. Because Best Lawyers is based on an exhaustive peer-review survey in which more than 55,000 leading attorneys cast over 6.7 million votes on the legal abilities of other lawyers in their practice areas, and because lawyers are not required or allowed to pay a fee to be listed, inclusion in Best Lawyers is considered a singular honor. Corporate Counsel magazine has called Best Lawyers "the most respected referral list of attorneys in practice."
