Portland, OR — Bullard Law announces that it earned top honors in the 2015 U.S. News – Best Lawyers “Best Law Firms” rankings, published today.

Best Law Firms awarded Bullard Law with Metropolitan Tier 1 rankings in the practice areas of Employee Benefits (ERISA) Law, Litigation-Labor and Employment, Labor Law-Management, and Employment Law-Management.  

To be eligible for a ranking, a firm must have a lawyer listed in The Best Lawyers in America, which recognizes the top 4 percent of practicing attorneys in the US. Earlier this year, Bullard Law announced 12 of its attorneys celebrated this distinguished honor.

Approximately 7,000 clients provided close to 20,000 evaluations and more than12,000 attorneys provided over 330,000 law firm assessments. “Because we combine hard data with peer reviews and client assessments,” says Steven Naifeh, President and Co-Founder of Best Lawyers, “more and more clients inform us ours are the most thorough, accurate, and helpful rankings of law firms ever developed.”

Receiving a tier designation reflects the high level of respect a firm has earned among other leading lawyers and clients in the same communities and the same practice areas for their abilities, their professionalism and their integrity.

Metropolitan first-tier rankings will be featured in the “Best Law Firms” General Counsel Publication, which will be distributed to more than 30,000 in-house counsel and in digital format to more than 60,000 private practice lawyers worldwide.
