NATIONAL - FordHarrison LLP, one of the country's largest management-side labor and employment law firms, is pleased to announce that the firm has received Tier 1, Tier 2, and Tier 3 Rankings in the 2026 Edition of Best Lawyers list of "Best Law Firms." Firms included in the 2026 "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.
Achieving a ranking in Best Law Firms signifies high-quality legal practice and a depth of legal proficiency. Recognized firms, categorized into three tiers, receive acclaim on both national and metropolitan levels, reflecting the extent of their practice and geographic reach. Receiving a tier designation represents an elite status, reflecting the integrity and reputation earned by law firms.
"At Best Lawyers, we are proud to recognize law firms that show an unwavering commitment to excellence, innovation, and client satisfaction," said Philip Greer, Chief Executive Officer of Best Lawyers. "In the legal arena, credibility is earned through consistent quality, which has propelled these firms to the forefront of the legal industry."
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 and Employment (Tier 1). The firm also received 29 "Metropolitan First-Tier Rankings" for a variety of practice areas in 16 U.S. cities, 11 "Metropolitan Second-Tier Rankings" in nine U.S. cities, and five “Metropolitan Third-Tier Rankings” in five U.S. cities. Earlier this year, Best Lawyers selected 65 FordHarrison attorneys for inclusion in the 2026 edition of The Best Lawyers in America.
"Best Law Firms" rankings, for the sixteenth 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. The transparent, collaborative research process employs qualitative and quantitative data from peer and client reviews, supported by proprietary algorithmic technology, to produce a tiered system of industry-led rankings of the top 4% of the industry.
