ATLANTA, GA – October 7, 2011 – Ogletree, Deakins, Nash, Smoak & Stewart, P.C. (Ogletree Deakins) ranked highest among labor litigation firms in Corporate Counsel magazine’s Who Represents America’s Biggest Companies survey. The ranking was based on responses from in-house counsel at Fortune 100 companies. Ogletree Deakins tied for the seventh most mentions of all U.S. firms. The survey results are detailed in the October issue of Corporate Counsel.
“We continue to receive accolades and high praise from clients for our business model, which focuses on providing outstanding legal representation and unparalleled client service – at reasonable fees,” said Kim Ebert, Managing Shareholder of Ogletree Deakins. “This latest honor serves as a strong validation of the business relationships that we have built and we truly appreciate the support of our clients with respect to surveys such as this.”
