Polsinelli Receives Top Rankings from Chambers USA



Fifty-three Attorneys Recognized; Firm Receives 24 Honors

Chambers USA, a leading legal industry rankings organization, released its 2018 rankings for lawyers and practices. Polsinelli earned high placements in state, practice and attorney rankings, with 53 attorneys receiving recognition and the firm receiving 24 honors spread across nine practices.

Chambers rankings are based on several factors, including information obtained from client interviews, submissions put forward by law firms, as well as Chambers’ own database resources. Individual attorneys are ranked on the basis of their legal knowledge and experience, ability, effectiveness and client-service in their respective practice areas. Law firm practices are ranked on quality of their attorneys, strength/depth, effectiveness and capability of the department.

“These rankings reflect our focus and dedication toward providing superior client service,” said Polsinelli Chairman and CEO Russ Welsh. “We are proud to have such a large group of our attorneys and practice groups earn this recognition, and we appreciate our many clients who provided valuable feedback to Chambers. We strive to build partnerships with our clients by better understanding the challenges they face, and we will continue to maintain this focus on our clients’ priorities.”

For the fourth consecutive year, Chambers ranked Polsinelli’s Health Care practice at the national level. The firm’s Real Estate Practice was also recognized nationally by Chambers for the second year in a row. Additionally, the Real Estate team received two new local honors, in Illinois and St. Louis.
