The firm earned a national ranking in the Startups and Emerging Companies practice area, while Atlanta Partner Douglas R. Spear, who heads the firm’s Emerging Companies Practice Group, and Atlanta Associate George F. Akers, earned individual national rankings for the second consecutive year.

 “The rankings reflect the trust and confidence our clients have in our team, and the scale in which our practice has evolved nationally,” said Spear.

According to Chambers, rankings are based on interviews with law firms and clients. The qualities on which rankings are assessed include technical legal ability, professional conduct, client service, commercial astuteness, diligence, commitment, and other qualities most valued by the client, according to the publisher.
