Freeman Freeman & Smiley has been recognized in the BTI Power Rankings 2016: The Law Firms with the Best Client Relationships. Clients ranked FFS as a Leading Core firm in Financial Services, in the top 5% of law firms in the Financial Services industry.
The BTI Power Rankings is the only law firm ranking based solely on direct, unprompted feedback from corporate counsel. The strength of a firm’s client relationships in 16 industries is based on in-depth interviews with more than 320 corporate counsel at the world’s leading organizations. These strong client relationships are determined by 3 criteria:
- The law firms clients name as their core, go-to firms
- The law firms clients recommend most to their peers
- The prized firms who are both core, go-to firms and the most recommended to their peers
