Polsinelli PC issued the following announcement on Oct. 6.
Benchmark Litigation has nationally ranked Polsinelli’s Litigation Department and 21 of the firm’s Litigation attorneys as Benchmark Litigation Stars, six of whom are newly-ranked this year. The Litigation Department earned one additional recognition at the state level in Georgia.
Benchmark Litigation is the only publication to focus exclusively on the U.S. litigation market, ranking firms and leading national attorneys in various practice areas. Now in its 14th year, results are produced after months of extensive research, which includes client interviews, peer interviews, and recent casework reviews. During the research, Benchmark examines recent casework handled by law firms and asks individual litigators to provide professional opinions on peers and practitioners within their jurisdiction or practice area.
