FLORIDA, ALABAMA–November 4, 2021–RumbergerKirk has been ranked in the 2022 U.S. News – Best Lawyers® “Best Law Firms” list regionally in 22 practice areas. The annual listing provides a comprehensive view of the U.S. legal profession that is unprecedented both in the range of firms represented and in the range of qualitative and quantitative data used to develop the rankings.

To be eligible for a ranking, a firm must first have a lawyer recognized in The Best Lawyers in America©, which recognizes 5% of lawyers practicing in the United States. Firms included in the 2022 “Best Law Firms” list are recognized for professional excellence with persistently impressive ratings from clients and peers. Achieving a tiered ranking signals a unique combination of quality law practice and breadth of legal expertise.

The evaluation process continues to be just as rigorous as when the rankings began 12 years ago, including a review of more than 15,000 law firms in the United States across 75 national practice areas and 127 metropolitan practice areas.

Ranked firms, presented in tiers, are listed on a national and/or metropolitan scale. Receiving a tier designation reflects the high level of respect a firm has earned among other leading lawyers and clients in the same communities and the same practice areas for their abilities, their professionalism and their integrity.
