NEW YORK, Feb. 13, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- A new ranking of the law firms with the biggest real estate practices by Law360, the newswire for business lawyers, reveals that success in New York's dizzying real estate market does not require armies of practitioners.
The firms at the top of the Law360 Real Estate 100 make clear that although New York is the cynosure of the real estate industry, its law firms do not always have the biggest real estate headcounts.
"Our survey shows New York-based firms don't boast the biggest real estate practice groups, even though the biggest deals are done here and the attorneys at New York-based firms will undoubtedly be experts in handling the complexities involved in those deals," Law360 managing editor Cat Fredenburgh said.
The Real Estate 100 is part of Law360's practice area survey covering bankruptcy, competition, employment, energy, environmental, government contracts, insurance, intellectual property, international trade, media and entertainment, mergers and acquisitions, privacy and consumer protection, product liability, project finance, real estate, securities, and white collar.
The rankings are accompanied by an article on the three biggest powerhouses of each practice area.
