ATLANTA (November 1, 2013) – Fisher & Phillips LLP announced today that the law firm is included in the 2014 “Best Law Firms” rankings from U.S. News & World Report and Best Lawyers. The firm has been included in all four editions of the prestigious rankings. In addition to the national “First-Tier Ranking,” the firm’s Atlanta office also received “Metropolitan First-Tier Rankings” for employment law, labor law and labor & employment litigation.

Fisher & Phillips is dedicated solely to representing employers in labor and employment matters with 300 attorneys in 31 offices.

Along with the Atlanta office, 17 of the firm’s other offices received “Metropolitan First-Tier Rankings” in one or more of the following categories: employment law, labor law, labor & employment litigation and ERISA litigation. The additional offices include Boston, Cleveland, Columbia, S.C., Dallas, Denver, Fort Lauderdale, Irvine, Kansas City, Mo., Las Vegas, Louisville, New Jersey, New Orleans, Orlando, Portland, Maine, Portland, Ore., San Diego and Tampa.

Bert Brannen, managing partner of the Atlanta office, said: “These ‘Best Law Firms’ designations are a testament to our firm’s dedication to top quality client legal services. We put the clients’ business goals first in all of our work. Employers know that they can entrust their workplace legal issues to our experienced and highly qualified attorneys.”

Firms included in the 2014 “Best Law Firms” list are recognized for professional excellence with consistently impressive ratings from clients and peers. Achieving a “First-Tier” ranking signals a quality law practice and breadth of legal experience and knowledge.

The 2014 rankings are based on the highest number of participating firms and the highest number of client ballots on record. More than 12,000 attorneys provided more than 330,000 law firm assessments, and nearly 7,000 clients provided close to 20,000 evaluations.

The 2014 “Best Law Firms” list will be featured in two publications to be distributed later this month. The national first‐tier rankings will be featured in the first edition of the “Best Law Firms” Legal Issue, which will be distributed to more than 30,000 C‐level executives.
