Chambers and Partners has recognized Goldberg Segalla’s Business and Commercial Practice Group in upstate New York as one of the top in the region, the firm announced today. The recently released 2015 edition of the prestigious Chambers USA: America’s Leading Lawyers for Business ranks the 14-year-old Goldberg Segalla among some of upstate New York’s oldest and most well-established firms, noting it acts for “a variety of prominent clients throughout the USA” and that it has a “diverse commercial practice with particular experience in the construction, renewable energy, and retail fields.”

Goldberg Segalla is one of only eight firms listed for commercial litigation in upstate New York by Chambers, which is widely recognized and respected as one of the legal industry’s preeminent guides. It also lists Christopher J. Belter, the firm’s Business and Commercial Practice Group Chair, as a notable practitioner.

Clients confirmed the firm’s prominence during interviews with Chambers researchers, noting its breadth and depth of resources, particular experience in construction, renewable energy, and retail, and focus on providing effective legal counsel “quickly, inexpensively, and effectively.” As one client noted: “They take a very methodical and analytical approach and are very good at adapting to our business model.”
