Attorneys from Harris Beach PLLC have been recognized in The Best Lawyers in America© for 2022 in three categories: Best Lawyer, Lawyers of the Year and “Ones to Watch.” The Best Lawyers in America is considered the oldest guide of its kind in the legal profession. A total of 78 Harris Beach attorneys were recognized in the 2022 edition across almost four dozen practice areas.

From that number, six partners were named as “Lawyers of the Year,” which are awarded to individual lawyers with the highest peer feedback for a specific practice area and geographic region.

Another 11 Harris Beach attorneys earned recognition as “Ones to Watch,” a recognition program for attorneys who have been practicing law for fewer than 10 years.
