WHITE PLAINS, NY (November 7, 2011) – For the second consecutive year, U.S. News Media Group and The Best Lawyers® has bestowed First Tier rankings on Jackson Lewis in both Employment Law and Labor Law on behalf of Management in their annual "Best Law Firms" report. This year the firm also achieved a First Tier ranking in the Labor & Employment Litigation category. The "Best Law Firms" rankings, among the most prestigious in the legal profession, are based on the opinions of general counsel at major U.S. corporations as well as prominent legal practitioners.
The firm’s Immigration Law and ERISA Litigation practices also placed highly at the National level, ranking in Tiers Two and Three, respectively. In addition, over half of the firm’s regional offices were recognized for excellence in Tiers One and Two of the Metropolitan Rankings in various labor and employment categories, marking a climb from last year’s already-impressive showing.
Patrick L. Vaccaro, firm-wide Managing Partner, stated, “2011 became a year of firsts for Jackson Lewis after our inclusion in both the AmLaw 100 and the Global 100 rankings of law firms. To improve upon last year’s high standing in the "Best Law Firms" local rankings is truly gratifying and a testament to the talented lawyers we have in our firm. Professional and peer recognition is one of the best indicators of our hard-earned ‘client-first’ reputation and a clear indicator of our growing status as one of the country’s leading workplace law firms.”
