Harris Beach PLLC is nationally ranked for professional excellence in three practice areas as part of the 2021 Best Law Firm Rankings from U.S. News and World Report and Best Lawyers.
Based on feedback from clients and peers, Harris Beach achieved top tier national rankings in mass tort litigation/class actions – defendants, corporate law, and land use and zoning.
Harris Beach lawyers also earned New York state regional/metro rankings in 49 different areas of law, including 29 in the Tier 1 category.
The annual Best Law Firm rankings include input on a firm’s expertise, responsiveness, civility, cost effectiveness and understanding of the business. To be eligible for the Best Law Firms report, a firm must have at least one attorney recognized in the current edition of The Best Lawyers in America rankings in a “Best Law Firms” ranked practice area or metro area.
Earlier this year, Harris Beach announced that it had placed 81 attorneys on the Best Lawyers list, with 10 named as attorneys of the year.
“Earning the trust of clients means everything. We’re thrilled to have it reflected in this year’s Best Law Firm rankings,” said Chris Jagel, partner and chief executive officer. “We are always looking for ways to grow through additional legal and business talent.”
