Benesch Recognized in Chambers USA 2025 with Record Growth in National and Regional Rankings

Media Mentions

Benesch is proud to announce that Chambers and Partners has once again recognized the firm as one of the nation’s leading law firms in its Chambers USA 2025 guide. This year, 40 Benesch attorneys and 19 practice areas were ranked, which is more than double the number of practices recognized just five years ago. Additionally, the firm earned four new practice rankings, and four individual attorneys were ranked for the first time—a testament to Benesch’s continued momentum and the exceptional client service delivered across practices and offices.

This year’s results reflect significant year-over-year growth, including a major milestone with the Retail & E-Commerce practice making its Nationwide debut—a rare and notable accomplishment for a practice not previously ranked. Other new rankings include first-time appearances for Illinois Energy & Natural Resources (Band 1), Illinois Labor & Employment (Highly Regarded – Band 2) and Ohio Energy & Natural Resources (Band 2). In addition, the Ohio Real Estate Practice Group advanced to Band 1, highlighting the strength and sophistication of our team in the market.
