NEW YORK - FordHarrison LLP, one of the country's largest management-side labor and employment law firms, is pleased to announce that the New York office received two Tier 1 Rankings in the 2022 Edition of U.S. News – Best Lawyers list of “Best Law Firms” in Employment Law – Management and Labor Law – Management. Firms included in the 2022 “Best Law Firms” list are recognized for professional excellence with persistently impressive ratings from clients and peers. Achieving a ranking signals a unique combination of quality law practice and breadth of legal expertise.
FordHarrison was recognized at a national level in three practice areas, including Employment Law – Management (Tier 1), Labor Law – Management (Tier 1), and Litigation – Labor & Employment (Tier 1). The firm also received 30 "Metropolitan First-Tier Rankings" for a variety of practice areas in 14 U.S. cities, eight "Metropolitan Second-Tier Rankings" in eight U.S. cities, and three “Metropolitan Third-Tier Rankings” in three U.S. cities. Earlier this year, Best Lawyers selected 53 FordHarrison attorneys for inclusion in the 2022 edition of The Best Lawyers in America.
The U.S. News – Best Lawyers "Best Law Firms" rankings, for the twelfth consecutive year, includes rankings in 75 national practice areas and 127 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.

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.
