New York, NY (November 4, 2021) – Epstein Becker Green (EBG) is proud to announce that its Health Care & Life Sciences; Employment, Labor & Workforce Management; and Litigation & Business Disputes practices have again been ranked nationally in Tier 1 in the U.S. News – Best Lawyers® 2022 “Best Law Firms” survey, with additional practice areas recognized in Tiers 2 and 3, including, Criminal Defense: White Collar and Litigation—Regulatory Enforcement (SEC, Telecom, Energy). 

Firms included in the 2022 edition are recognized for professional excellence with consistently impressive ratings from clients and peers. Ranked firms, presented in three tiers, are listed on a national and regional-based scale. Firms that receive 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. In addition to the seven national tier rankings earned, EBG also received 35 metropolitan rankings across practice areas, as outlined below.

According to U.S. News – Best Lawyers, achieving a tiered ranking signals a unique combination of quality law practice and breadth of legal expertise. “Separating yourself in a competitive field is always a challenge, especially in the legal industry. This has been particularly true as we continue to navigate the new realities of business engagements during a pandemic,” said Elizabeth Petit, Managing Editor and Director of Research Development. “What has not changed is the need for consumers of legal services to have confidence in the caliber of excellence of firms they engage.”

To be eligible for a ranking, a firm must have a lawyer recognized first in The Best Lawyers in America, which recognizes the top 5 percent of practicing attorneys in the United States. The rankings incorporate evaluations from individual leading lawyers and clients, peer review, and additional information provided by the firm, which were then subject to a rigorous and thorough evaluation process.
