May 27, 2014, Pittsburgh and Philadelphia, PA – Sixty-five lawyers in the Pittsburgh and Philadelphia offices of Reed Smith LLP have been singled out as 2014 Pennsylvania Super Lawyers or 2014 Pennsylvania Rising Stars, the firm announced today.
“This is well-deserved recognition for the exceptional work our Pennsylvania attorneys consistently deliver to the firm’s clients,” said George Stewart, Managing Partner of Reed Smith’s Pittsburgh office. “We congratulate each of them on the achievement of this signal honor.”
According to Super Lawyers’ Associate Producer, Dunia Chatham, Super Lawyers’ multi-phase selection process recognizes attorneys who have distinguished themselves in their legal practice, and Rising Stars singles out the top up-and-coming attorneys 40 or younger, or those with less than 10 years of practice.
This year, 27 lawyers in Reed Smith’s Pittsburgh office and 19 in its Philadelphia office were honored as 2014 Super Lawyers. Twelve of the firm’s 2014 Rising Stars are resident in the firm’s Pittsburgh office; seven, in its Philadelphia office.
“Reed Smith is one of the few international firms with a strong presence in both of Pennsylvania’s largest cities,” said Reed Smith’s Philadelphia Office Managing Partner Leonard Bernstein. “Super Lawyers’ 2014 selections reflect our continued strength in the Keystone State.”
