It is our distinct pleasure to announce that more than half of the attorneys at Adams Leclair LLP have been selected for inclusion in the 2021 Best Lawyers in America.©   This year’s recognitions include eight lawyers, listed below.

Best Lawyers is one of the oldest and most-respected peer-review publications in the legal industry.  To be selected for this honor, attorneys are nominated and reviewed by their peers on the basis of professional expertise. They must undergo an authentication process to make sure they are in current practice and in good standing.

Adams Leclair attorneys have been recognized in this publication as far back as 2001, indicating a long-standing commitment to their fields of interest and a dedication to advancing the legal profession.

Adams Leclair LLP recently celebrated its first anniversary as a law firm that concentrates its practice in commercial and construction advocacy in upstate New York.  In September 2019, the construction litigation practitioners from Adams Bell Adams PC and the commercial litigators from Leclair Korona Cole LLP joined together to offer specialized counsel, honed by decades of experience in state and federal courts at the trial and appellate level.
