A total of 51 Harris Beach PLLC attorneys have been named to the 2020 edition of Super Lawyers, a peer-based rating service that recognizes attorneys and their work for clients in more than 60 practice areas.
Super Lawyers are selected in every state based on peer recommendations and reviews along with independent research. The list represents a guide for people seeking legal services. The announcement covers the upstate New York region; Super Lawyers for the New York City metro area will be announced later in the fall.
Thomson Reuters, which compiles Super Lawyers, estimates that only five percent of attorneys nationwide make the list each year.
Super Lawyers also recognizes attorneys under the age of 40 and those with fewer than 10 years of practice with the designation of “Rising Star.” A total of 14 Harris Beach lawyers were named as “Rising Stars.”
“Recognition from peers is the best compliment. Rankings such as this underscore the depth and breadth of legal experience we have at Harris Beach,” said Christopher Jagel, chief executive officer, Harris Beach. “Our capabilities provide clients with skills and expertise across numerous practice areas. This knowledge base is more accessible than ever with the rapid expansion of virtual business practices brought on by COVID-19.”
