Gibbons Real Property & Environmental Department Attains National and Metropolitan Rankings in 2012 Best Lawyers
Gibbons P.C. is proud to announce that several Real Property & Environmental Department (RPE) practice areas have achieved national and metropolitan rankings in the 2012 edition of Best Law Firms, published by U.S. News and Best Lawyers®. Best Lawyers® is the oldest and most respected peer-review publication in the legal profession. In addition, seven RPE attorneys have been individually selected for inclusion in six different categories.
The firm’s Land Use & Zoning Law practice was nationally ranked in the third tier in its category. In addition, the Department achieved first-tier rankings for the Newark, New Jersey metropolitan region in five categories:
- Environmental Law
- Land Use & Zoning Law
- Litigation – Environmental
- Natural Resources Law
- Real Estate Law
Because Best Lawyers is based on an exhaustive peer-review survey in which more than 41,000 leading attorneys cast almost 3.9 million votes on the legal abilities of other lawyers in their practice areas, and because lawyers are not required or allowed to pay a fee to be listed, inclusion in Best Lawyers is considered a singular honor. Corporate Counsel has called Best Lawyers “the most respected referral list of attorneys in practice.”
The RPE attorneys who earned individual rankings in the most recent edition of Best Lawyers® rankings are:
Russell B. Bershad (Department Co-Chair)
- Real Estate
- Real Estate
