11/01/19
Bodman PLC is pleased to announce that the firm’s Banking Practice Group and Bankruptcy and Debtor-Creditor Rights Practice Group, as well as 18 of our lawyers who primarily serve banking clients, have been recognized for excellence in rankings released today by two leading business publications.
First, U.S. News, in association with The Best Lawyers in America, has ranked Bodman nationally for Banking and Finance Law and for Bankruptcy and Creditor Debtor Rights/Insolvency and Reorganization Law on its 2020 “Best Law Firms” list. Bodman is ranked in these practice areas at the same level as many significantly larger firms with national or global footprints. Within the local southeast Michigan market, U.S. News ranks both practices at the highest possible “Tier 1” level.
