U.S. News & World Report and Best Lawyers®, for the eleventh consecutive year, rated Barran Liebman a top law firm in their 2021 “Best Law Firms” rankings. 

Barran Liebman achieved a Tier 1 ranking – the highest recognition possible – for its work in the following practice areas: Employment Law (Management), Labor Law (Management) and Litigation (Labor & Employment) for the state of Oregon. Best Lawyers also recognized Barran Liebman’s excellence in the areas of Employee Benefits (ERISA) Law and ERISA Litigation.

Law firms included in the 2021 “Best Law Firms” list are recognized for their professional distinctions and outstanding reviews from clients and peers. Attaining a tiered ranking demonstrates a combination of service quality and legal expertise.

To be eligible for ranking, a firm must have a lawyer who is listed in The Best Lawyers in America, which recognizes the top 5 percent of attorneys practicing law in the state of Oregon. This year, Barran Liebman has not only one, but nine lawyers listed in The Best Lawyers in America. Kyle Abraham, Amy Angel, Paula Barran, Ed Harnden, Richard Liebman, Jeff Robertson, and Andrew Schpak were all named, with Shayda Zaerpoor Le and Sean Ray recognized on the Ones to Watch list (which recognizes attorneys who are earlier in their careers and have been in private practice for 5-9 years).  Learn more about Barran Liebman’s Best Lawyers honorees here.
