Twenty-eight Miles & Stockbridge lawyers, including four who are newly ranked, and 12 of the firm’s practices made the annual list. Among them, the firm’s Public Finance practice debuted on this year’s list in Washington, D.C. and two practices—Insurance and Employee Benefits & Compensation—climbed to the highest position in Maryland with a Band 1 ranking, joining the nationally ranked Government Contracts practice and the Bankruptcy/Restructuring practice in Maryland.
