Submitted by Ulmer Attorneys
Ulmer & Berne LLP is pleased to share that 63 of the firm’s attorneys have been selected by their peers for inclusion in the 2024 edition of The Best Lawyers in America®. In addition, 27 Ulmer attorneys were recognized as Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch®, and three received the distinction of 2024 Best Lawyers® “Lawyer of the Year.”
“We are truly proud of our incredible attorneys who have been recognized year after year for their dedication and achievements by Best Lawyers,” said Scott Kadish, Ulmer Managing Partner. “It’s gratifying to see so many Ulmer names on the list, and in particular, our three partners who have been named ‘Lawyer of the Year.’ It’s further proof of their extraordinary talent, and their strong commitment to providing exceptional legal services and value to our clients.”
Since its first publication in 1983, Best Lawyers® has become regarded as among the most respected referral lists of attorneys in practice. Based on exhaustive peer-review evaluation, its methodology is designed to capture, as accurately as possible, the consensus opinion of leading lawyers about the professional capabilities of their colleagues in the same geographical and legal practice areas.
“Lawyer of the Year” is awarded to individual attorneys with the highest overall peer-feedback for a specific practice area and geographic region, and only one lawyer is recognized as such for each specialty and location. Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch recognizes attorneys who have been in practice for approximately five to nine years for outstanding professional excellence.
