Faegre Baker Daniels received eight first-tier national rankings in the 2019 “Best Law Firms” survey by U.S. News & World Report and Best Lawyers.

FaegreBD’s practice areas ranked among the top nationally include: appellate, commercial litigation, corporate law, banking and finance litigation, intellectual property litigation, real estate litigation, mergers and acquisitions law, and venture capital law.

In the first tier of metropolitan ratings, the firm was ranked in 15 practice areas in Colorado, three in Fort Wayne, 37 in Indianapolis, 37 in Minneapolis, five in Des Moines, three in Silicon Valley and two in Chicago.

The “Best Law Firms” rankings are based on a meticulous research process that includes surveys of peer attorneys and client evaluations. Clients rate firms based on expertise, responsiveness, understanding of business needs, cost-effectiveness, civility and whether they would refer another client to the firm. To be eligible, a firm must have a lawyer listed in The Best Lawyers in America©, which recognizes the top 4 percent of practicing attorneys in the U.S.

Ranked firms are listed on a national and/or metropolitan scale and the first tier in each area includes those firms that scored within a certain percentage of the highest-scoring firm.
