Summit Named to "Best Law Firms" List

Summit has been recognized by U.S. News and Best Lawyers as a “Best Law Firm” for 2017. Summit was ranked in 16 areas for the Seattle Metropolitan area (Appellate Practice, Arbitration, Business Organizations, Commercial Litigation, Corporate, Criminal Defense (both Non-White- and White-Collar), Employment-Management, Environmental, Labor-Management, Litigation-Environmental, Litigation-First Amendment, Litigation-Labor & Employment, Natural Resources, Securities/Capital Markets, and Securities Regulation).

In addition, 8 practice areas have been recognized in Best Lawyers' national rankings (Appellate Practice, Corporate, Environmental, Labor-Management, Litigation-Environmental, Litigation-First Amendment, Natural Resources, and Securities Regulation).

These rankings are based on a rigorous evaluation process that includes the collection of client and lawyer evaluations, peer review from leading attorneys, and review of information provided by law firms as part of the formal submission process. Clients were asked to provide feedback on firm practice groups addressing expertise, responsiveness, understanding of business needs, cost-effectiveness, civility, and whether they would refer another client to the firm. Best Lawyers is the oldest and one of the most respected peer-review publication in the legal profession. Congratulations Summit!
