Butler Snow is pleased to announce that U.S. News – Best Lawyers® has awarded the firm 67 Tier 1 rankings in its recent release of “Best Law Firms” 2019®.
“We are honored to be recognized in such a wide variety of categories by this national publication,” Donald Clark, Jr. said, chairman of Butler Snow. “Our attorneys strive to provide our clients an elevated level of service, quality and expertise across each of our offices and practice areas, and this recognition illustrates that.”
Firms included in the 2019 “Best Law Firms” list are recognized for professional excellence with persistently impressive ratings from clients and peers. Achieving such ranking signals a unique combination of quality law practice and breadth of legal expertise.
The U.S. News – Best Lawyers® “Best Law Firms” rankings are based on a rigorous evaluation process that includes the collection of client and lawyer evaluations, peer reviews from leading attorneys in their field and review of additional information provided by law firms as part of the formal submission process. To be eligible for a ranking in a particular practice area and metropolitan region, a law firm must have at least one lawyer who is included in Best Lawyers® in that particular practice area and metropolitan region.
Ranked firms, presented in tiers, are listed on a national and/or metropolitan scale. Receiving a tier designation reflects the high level of respect a firm has earned among other leading lawyers and clients in the same communities and the same practice areas for its abilities, its professionalism, and its integrity.
