This is the eighth consecutive year in which the firm has received a first tier rating for its bankruptcy and reorganization practice and has been included in the guide.
In addition to recognition of The Business Reorganization Team in the firm rankings, shareholders Howard Berlin, Leslie Cloyd, Brian Gart, Jordi Guso, Brian Rich and Arthur Spector, received individual recognition for the team. Furthermore, firm Co-CEO Paul Steven Singerman received a *(star) ranking, the only attorney in the state of Florida and one of only 10 in the entire nation for Bankruptcy/Restructuring. The team also has the most ranked number of attorneys in the Bankruptcy/Restructuring category than any other law firm in the state of Florida.
The firm also has a strong showing in new practice areas this year, with Mitchell Berger recognized in Litigation: General Commercial, James Berger ranked in Real Estate and Daniel Aronson ranked in Corporate M&A/Private Equity. Attorney Daniel Thompson has been ranked in the Environmental category for the 4th year.
“Chambers USA is one of the preeminent ranking systems for attorneys,” said Singerman. “Combining feedback from clients and other attorneys, it is a true honor for Berger Singerman to have such a solid presence this year.”
The annual Chambers USA guide of the best law firms and lawyers is published by the illustrious London-based Chambers & Partners. Chambers & Partners publishes similar U.K. and Global guides which are widely respected. Research is conducted via in-depth telephone interviews with clients and with attorneys, each one lasting about half an hour. The qualities on which the rankings are assessed include technical legal ability, professional conduct, client service, commercial awareness/astuteness, diligence, commitment, and other qualities most valued by the client.
