Published by Florida Trend magazine, Legal Elite is widely regarded as one of the preeminent referral guides to the legal profession in the United States. Honorees are nominated by other members of the Florida Bar, and are then selected based on the number of votes they receive by an independent research firm and a Blue Ribbon Panel of prominent lawyers. The Legal Elite list is comprised of the top two percent of practicing attorneys in Florida.
"Coming on the heels of our recognition by Chambers USA, this further emphasizes our depth of professionalism and commitment to our high level of service to our clients," added Mr. Sumberg.
The 2006 edition of Chambers USA: Americas Leading Lawyers for Business recognized Bilzin Sumberg as a leading Florida firm, once again ranking the firm in the first tier of Florida law firms in both Real Estate and Zoning/Land Use. Twelve of the firms attorneys were recognized as leaders in their respective practice areas, and four of the firms practice groups made the elite list with rankings of four or higher.
Chambers USA ranks law firms and attorneys based on over 7,000 interviews conducted with peers and clients across the United States. Criteria include technical legal ability, professional conduct, client service, commercial awareness and astuteness, diligence, commitment and other qualities most valued by the client.
