“In Texas, we’ve seen a number of law firms merging but we believe remaining an independent, mid-sized firm allows us to foster and maintain strong relationships with our clients while still providing the depth of experience and expertise to effectively handle their legal needs,” Gray Reed Managing Partner Cary Gray says. “This recognition helps confirm that belief and serves as a testament to our teamwork and our commitment to providing superior client service.”
For the past 18 years, BTI has published the definitive ranking of client service excellence for the corporate law firm market. The focus is on which law firms legal decision makers recognize for delivering the absolute best client service on a consistent basis. The BTI Client Service A-Team is the gold standard (used by law firms and corporate counsel alike) to assess how law firms honestly stack up in client service delivery.
