Press Release
DLA Piper today announced that 126 of its lawyers have been ranked by their peers and clients as leaders in their respective fields in the newly published Chambers USA: America’s Leading Lawyers for Business. In addition, 52 of the firm’s practice groups were recommended in the guide, up from 43 groups that were ranked in 2008.
“We are thrilled that Chambers has once again recognized such a substantial number of leading lawyers and practice groups at DLA Piper,” said Francis B. Burch, Jr., chairman of the global board of DLA Piper. “These accolades are indicative of the depth and breadth of talent at DLA Piper across the country, as well as our continued dedication to our clients. The continued improvement in our rankings this year is also evidence of market's understanding of our firm and the improvement of our global brand."
The Chambers rankings are based on extensive research conducted by Chambers and Partners Legal Publishers, a highly respected English publisher of directories assessing and ranking the world’s leading lawyers. Unlike other publishers that allow firms to purchase a mention or ranking, Chambers’ listings are based solely on outside evaluations of merit. Its researchers investigate law firms and lawyers in each US state through an exhaustive process of interviewing clients and competitors in major areas of business law.
