Federman Steifman LLP Ranked as a Leading New York Real Estate Law Firm in Chambers USA Regional Spotlight

Federman Steifman LLP (“Federman”) has been ranked by Chambers and Partners (“Chambers”) in Chambers’ inaugural New York Regional Spotlight Guide. In the 2024 Guide, Chambers focused on identifying and showcasing only the most exceptional small and mid-sized law firms operating within New York. According to Chambers, the Guide recognizes boutique firms that perform “remarkable work, enjoy an impressive regional reputation among clients and fellow practitioners and offer a credible alternative to Big Law.” The firms ranked in the New York Regional Spotlight Guide were selected based on in-depth market analysis, coupled with an assessment of firms’ depth and breadth of experience, level of expertise and caliber of talent. Federman was recognized for the strength of the Firm’s Real Estate and Real Estate Finance practices.

“Federman is proud to be recognized by Chambers, which is widely accepted as the most prestigious law firm ranking,” said Peter J. Mannarino, a partner at Federman. “We are honored that Chambers, and the markets generally, acknowledge that top-tier legal services often are performed outside of a large firm setting,” Mannarino added. 

Chambers’ conclusions were achieved through independent research and supported by comparative analysis drawing on its decades of knowledge of the U.S. legal market. Chambers seeks to identify law firms and lawyers who demonstrate superior technical ability, professional conduct, client service, diligence, commitment, and other qualities most valued by clients. Chambers’ insight into the legal market indicates a trend of large companies seeking specialized support from smaller firms, who can respond more effectively and efficiently to in-house counsel’s targeted needs. Chambers’ Regional Spotlight builds bridges between in-house counsel, who want more options when retaining legal services, and small to mid-sized firms.

The select few firms highlighted in the New York Regional Spotlight Guide, including Federman, are well-positioned to advise local, regional and national companies on a broad range of complex matters both inside and outside of New York.
