Schnader Ranked as “Highly Recommended” in the 2011 Benchmark Litigation Guide

Schnader Harrison Segal & Lewis LLP has been recognized as a “Highly Recommended” Pennsylvania law firm in the 2011 edition of Benchmark Litigation. Additionally, David Smith, Carl Solano, Dennis Suplee, Ralph Wellington and Nancy Winkelman were recognized as “Local Litigation Stars” and John Gisleson was recognized as a “Future Star.” Our attorneys were recognized for their work in the following practice areas: antitrust, appellate, bankruptcy, commercial litigation, insurance, intellectual property, product liability and securities.

The Firm’s editorial entry in the 2011 Benchmark Litigation guide noted that one client emphasized that Schnader attorneys “[e]valuate claims well and provide negotiation skills that are quite helpful and effective. They have a good rapport with the trial judges and have an excellent legal and ethical reputation.” Another client noted, “I find their written work to be exceptionally clear and convincing.”

The results are the culmination of a six-month research period involving extensive interviews with litigators and their clients, a review of recent casework handled by prospective firms, and feedback from industry leaders regarding their professional opinions on litigators practicing within their state or national practice areas. Firms that receive a “Highly Recommended” ranking are considered dominant in their particular jurisdiction; individuals indentified as top “Local Litigation Stars” reflect those who were recommended consistently as reputable and effective litigators by clients and peers; and, individuals identified as “Future Stars” reflect those who were consistently referenced by peers and clients as litigators who are likely to be become “local litigation stars” in coming editions of the guide.
