Three Phillips Lytle Attorneys Earn Legal 500 US City Elite – New York Recognition for Practice Excellence

Buffalo, N.Y. –Three Phillips Lytle attorneys have been ranked in Legal 500 US City Elite – New York for various categories. Anna Mercado Clark is ranked Tier 1 in Cybersecurity, John G. Schmidt Jr. is ranked Tier 2 for Commercial Disputes and Alson James McKenna is ranked Tier 3 for Banking & Finance.

Legal 500 US City Elite showcases leading lawyers practicing at regional firms across major business centers throughout the United States. The guide is dedicated to recognizing outstanding U.S. lawyers outside the global law firm sphere, with a particular focus on those at regional powerhouses who may not receive equivalent visibility in broader national or international rankings.

Distinct from the main Legal 500 US guide, US City Elite ranks lawyers as individuals rather than evaluating firms or practice groups, offering a focused assessment of personal excellence and market impact.

Research combines in-depth interviews with leading practitioners, extensive peer feedback and analysis of significant matters handled over the past year. Peer insight gathered during the process further strengthens the rigor and independence of the rankings. Phillips Lytle is noted for its client satisfaction in lawyer and team quality, billing and efficiency, and sector knowledge.

Founded nearly 40 years ago, Legal 500 has been analyzing the capabilities of law firms in over 100 countries worldwide with a comprehensive research program revised every year to bring the most up-to-date vision of the global legal market.
