This year, we are opening our Litigation Departments of the Year awards ONLY to firms with fewer than 200 lawyers firmwide—and we want to hear from you. The goal is to recognize the great lawyering that occurs every day across Pennsylvania at firms beyond the Am Law 100.

We've extended the deadline for submissions to Monday, March 12.

Keep in mind, this contest is not about who represented the largest or most prestigious client. Nor is it necessarily about who got the biggest the verdict. The point is to honor those litigators and litigation departments that achieved the best results for their clients through some combination of hard work, tenacity and ingenuity. Every firm with a litigation practice and fewer than 200 attorneys is welcome to enter, whether it be a plaintiffs personal injury firm, an insurance defense boutique or a general practice firm with a strong litigation department.

As always, we will be honoring the top general litigation departments, as well as, if applicable, specialty areas including: Intellectual Property; Products Liability/Mass Torts; Labor and Employment; Insurance; Professional Liability; Class Action and Appellate Law.

Read the entry instructions and submit your firm for competition in both the general and specialty area contests to [email protected] by Monday, March 12.
