NEW YORK – April 20, 2018 – Brian T. Feeney and Paul J. Ferak, shareholders at global law firm Greenberg Traurig, LLP, were recognized by corporate counsel for their superior client service in the BTI Client Service All-Stars 2018 report. Feeney is resident in the firm’s Philadelphia office and is a member of the Litigation and Real Estate Operations practices. Ferak focuses his practice on financial services litigation, business litigation, franchise litigation, and class action defense. He is resident in the firm’s Chicago office.
Now in its 17th year of publication, the BTI Client Service All-Stars is reported as the gold standard used by corporate counsel and law firms alike to identify the attorneys delivering the best client service. According to BTI, the report focuses on 326 attorneys who have “mastered the art of superior client service. In the eyes of clients, these attorneys are unsurpassed in their delivery of client service. These are the BTI Client Service All-Stars 2018. This report honors the individuals able to stand out in the sea of legal services providers to represent the cream of the crop. Corporate counsel single out each attorney—by name and in an unprompted manner—as delivering the absolute best client service. No attorney or firm can self-nominate, self-refer, nor pay to be included in this report. Clients have the final—and only—say.”
