Armstrong Teasdale LLP issued the following announcement on May 20.
Armstrong Teasdale announces that 19 of the firm’s attorneys are featured in the 2021 edition of Chambers USA: America's Leading Lawyers for Business. Chambers USA annually ranks leading law firms and lawyers in various practice areas.
In addition to the individual attorney honors, eight Armstrong Teasdale practice areas have been recognized by Chambers: Corporate/Mergers and Acquisitions, Environment, Insurance, Intellectual Property, Labor and Employment, Litigation: General Commercial, Litigation: White-Collar Crime & Government Investigations and Real Estate. Three practice groups and six attorneys earned a Band 1 status.
Lawyers can be ranked Band 1-6, with 1 being the best, as well as in an Up and Coming category. According to Chambers, bands are decided based on a number of qualities most valued by clients including legal ability, client service and commitment. Chambers designates further categories in which lawyers can be ranked as exceptional, highly influential lawyers, such as Eminent Practitioner and Senior Statesperson.
Additional recognitions from Chambers include, most recently, Partner and Chief Diversity Officer Meshach Rhoades being shortlisted for the Chambers Diversity & Inclusion Awards: North America 2021, as well as ranking in the Chambers U.K. edition.
