Ulmer & Berne LLP is pleased to share that 60 Ulmer attorneys have been selected by their peers for inclusion in the 2020 edition of The Best Lawyers in America©. In addition, two Ulmer partners received the distinction of Best Lawyers 2020 “Lawyer of the Year.”
“We are honored that our peers hold so many of our attorneys in such high regard,” said Scott P. Kadish, Managing Partner. “All of our honorees are incredibly deserving of this recognition, and their hard work and dedication is reflective of what we at Ulmer strive to deliver to our clients with each engagement.”
Since its first publication in 1983, Best Lawyers has become regarded as the most respected referral list 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 also 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. Two Ulmer attorneys have been named Best Lawyers 2020 “Lawyer of the Year” including Frederick M. Erny in Cincinnati for Product Liability Litigation – Defendants and Bill J. Gagliano in Cleveland for Construction Law.
