The Legal's Best Law Firm Corporate Practices

Nearly six months ago, The Legal asked law firms across the state to tell us what makes their corporate practices the best. Following a model we set last year when we conducted the Litigation Departments of the Year contest, based on Legal affiliate The American Lawyer’s own contest, we wanted to shift the focus this year to the Pennsylvania firms making an impact with their corporate work. It was the first time we had gone through the process with an eye on corporate practices and we weren’t sure just what to expect, but the submissions we received were numerous and impressive across the board.

We asked firms to submit details about the work they had done in the previous two years and ultimately settled on a worthy group of winners, culminating in the publication of our Pennsylvania Litigation Departments of the Year supplement honoring the top groups.
