Butler Snow is pleased to announce Chambers USA 2019 has ranked 44 of the firm’s attorneys as leaders in their fields. The firm has also been ranked in 14 categories.

Rankings for individual lawyers are based on their practice area(s), and evaluation of their legal knowledge and experience, ability, effectiveness and client service. A law firm ranking relates to a department of the firm and the qualities of the ranked attorneys within that department. Factors and considerations are judged by interviews with those active in the market – mainly clients and other lawyers with whom they work – and by assessing recent work done.
