Ballard Spahr LLP issued the following announcement on Aug. 19.
More than 175 Ballard Spahr attorneys nationwide have been included in the 2022 edition of The Best Lawyers in America. Cumulatively, Ballard Spahr attorneys received 285 total recognitions.
Of the 176 Ballard Spahr attorneys on the list, 10 were also named 2022 Lawyers of the Year for their practices and locations. Only one attorney can receive the designation in each location for each practice area.
The Best Lawyers listings include a “Ones to Watch” category for attorneys who have been in private practice less than 10 years. Forty-four Ballard Spahr attorneys were recognized a total of 65 times in this category.
The Best Lawyers methodology involves annual surveys asking lawyers across the nation to evaluate their peers based on legal skill, professionalism, and integrity. From the results of those extensive surveys, the publication chooses the top attorneys in the most high-profile practices. Lawyers of the Year received the highest overall peer feedback for a specific practice area and geographic region.
