Steven M. Charney, Chair of P&A, commented, “Recognition of so many of our individual lawyers and as a Tier One firm in construction law and litigation, together with the Client Satisfaction honor, speaks to the heart of our firm – outstanding lawyers that deliver the highest level of client service.” Firm Vice Chair, Paul Monte, added that “these recognitions reflect the depth of our team’s experience, our commitment to developing innovative legal strategies, and our ability to address complex challenges head-on.”
