Sixty-eight attorneys in Goldberg Segalla’s Albany, Buffalo, Rochester, and Syracuse offices have been listed in the 2020 Upstate New York edition of Super Lawyers. The range of practices these attorneys represent—including Construction, Commercial Litigation, Business and Corporate Law, State and Municipal Law, Constitutional Law, Employment and Labor, Worker’s Compensation, Product Liability, and Insurance Coverage—highlights the breadth and depth of Goldberg Segalla’s capabilities across the region.
