Taylor, Porter, Brooks & Phillips LLP issued the following announcement on Nov. 5.
Taylor Porter had 24 practice areas ranked by U.S. News & World Report and Best Lawyers, in the Ninth Annual “Best Law Firms” rankings. Firms included in the 2019 edition of “Best Law Firms” are recognized for professional excellence with consistently impressive ratings from clients and peers.
The 2019 rankings are based on the highest number of participating firms and highest number of client votes received on record. To be eligible for a ranking, a firm must have a lawyer recognized first in The Best Lawyers in America, which recognizes the top five percent of practicing attorneys in the U.S. Over 16,000 lawyers provided more than 1,125,000 law firm assessments, and almost 12,000 clients provided more than 107,000 evaluations.
Ranked firms, presented in three tiers, are listed on a national and regional-based scale. Firms that received a tier designation reflect the high level of respect a firm can earn among other leading lawyers and clients
in the same communities and practice areas.
The 2019 Tier 1 national and metropolitan rankings will be featured in the “Best Law Firms” General Counsel Publication, which will be distributed in November to more than 30,000 in-house counsel, and in digital format to more than 60,000 private practice lawyers worldwide.
