Felhaber Larson Ranked at the Top Again by Chambers USA

Felhaber Larson was listed once again as a Leading Law Firm in the 2019 edition of Chambers USA: America’s Leading Lawyers for Business.

The Chambers Guides have been ranking the best law firms and lawyers since 1990, and now cover 185 jurisdictions throughout the world. Chambers ranks both lawyers and law firms based on the research of 150 full-time editors and researchers. They talk to lawyers and clients, conducting in-depth telephone interviews to insure that only the top quality practitioners are selected for this prestigious directory.

We feel particularly honored that our Labor & Employment practice section was selected again for Band 1 (the highest level), one of only two law firms in the state to achieve this designation. Three of our section members were selected for special recognition as “notable practitioners”: Sara McGrane, Penny Phillips, and Paul Zech.

Here is what Chambers USA said about us:
