Miles & Stockbridge is pleased to announce that Chambers USA has ranked its lawyers and practices as industry leaders in the mid-Atlantic region and across the United States. Twenty-nine Miles & Stockbridge lawyers, including three who are newly ranked, and 12 of the firm’s practices made the annual list.

The firm earned top rankings nationally for having a highly regarded Government Contracts practice and a leading niche practice, Maryland Counsel for Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs). The firm’s White Collar & Government Investigations practice debuted on this year’s list in Maryland, while three practices—Bankruptcy/Restructuring, Employee Benefits & Executive Compensation and Insurance—earned the highest position in Maryland with a Band 1 ranking.

Miles & Stockbridge lawyers were recognized regionally for their deep experience in bankruptcy/restructuring, corporate/mergers and acquisitions, employee benefits and executive compensation, health care, insurance, labor and employment, litigation, public finance, real estate and white-collar and government investigations.

In their feedback with Chambers researchers, clients consistently praised Miles & Stockbridge lawyers for providing “first-rate work,” being “responsive, accessible and knowledgeable,” looking at “all sides of a situation,” providing “tailored guidance for complex matters,” and ensuring “business needs are met.”
