May 20, 2021 | by Butler Snow

Butler Snow is pleased to announce Chambers USA 2021, the prestigious, independent legal industry referral guide, has ranked 47 of the firm’s attorneys as leaders in their fields. The firm has also been ranked in 11 categories.

Chambers USA ranks the top attorneys and law firms across the United States. Rankings for individual attorneys 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 attorneys with whom they work – and by assessing recent work done.

“We congratulate all of our attorneys who were recognized by Chambers USA,” said Christopher R. Maddux, chair of Butler Snow. “Our attorneys are committed to the many clients, industries and communities we serve, and this prestigious recognition demonstrates that.”
