Earning 127 practice rankings in total, the firm earned new practice rankings in California: Private Equity, Pennsylvania: Philadelphia & Surrounds: Banking & Finance, and Nationwide: Derivatives, Energy Transition, FCPA and Financial Services Regulation: Banking (Compliance). Of the firm’s 289 total individual lawyer rankings, 19 were new individual rankings. The new lawyer rankings were acquired across practices, with the intellectual property and litigation sections seeing additional rankings. Many of the new rankings highlighted up-and-coming lawyers, and were also reflective of increased geographic strength in Pennsylvania and Washington.
