Callison Tighe and Robinson highlighted in 2014 Best Law Firms
November 1, 2013
COLUMBIA, SC – November 1, 2013 – Callison Tighe & Robinson is being recognized as a top firm for employment and real estate law, as well as labor and employment law litigation and real estate litigation, by U.S. News & World Report and Best Lawyers.
It’s the fourth consecutive year the firm has been recognized in employment law, the second for labor and employment law litigation and the first year for real estate litigation.
Being honored by our peers in the legal profession for the fourth year in a row is humbling and gratifying, Callison Tighe member Michael W. Tighe said. It’s a reflection on the breadth of expertise and impeccable professional credentials of our attorneys on both teams and it’s wonderful to see their work recognized.
In order to be eligible for a ranking, a firm had to have at least one attorney rated highly in Best Lawyers. Four Callison Tighe members – Michael W. Tighe; Ralph C. Robinson, Jr.; Nekki Shutt and M. Malissa Burnette – are included in the 2014 edition.
From there, firms were evaluated based on extensive surveys completed by more than 1,800 law firms, more than 15,000 clients and close to 9,000 lawyers. Respondents were asked to rate firms in areas such as responsiveness, understanding a business’s needs, cost-effectiveness, civility and whether they would refer a client to the firm. Lawyers were asked whether they considered a firm a worthy competitor.
Additionally, evaluators collected data about pro-bono commitment and diversity at the firm. The surveys and the data were combined into an overall score.
