Murphy & McGonigle Recognized in National Tier One Category for Securities Regulation by U.S. News - Best Lawyers® "Best Law Firms"
NEW YORK, Nov. 5, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Murphy & McGonigle, P.C. announced today that it is the only small law firm to have achieved National Tier One recognition for its U.S. Securities Regulation practice by U.S. News – Best Lawyers® 2014 "Best Law Firms."

The three-year-old Murphy & McGonigle, with 40 total lawyers, is the only firm on the National Tier One list with less than several hundred lawyers. It is also the only recently-formed firm to be included on this prestigious list of the top American securities regulation law firms.

The firm now represents many of the major financial institutions and securities markets operating in the United States and around the world," added Murphy.
The U.S. News – Best Lawyers "Best Law Firms" rankings are based on a rigorous evaluation process that includes the collection of client and lawyer evaluations, peer review from leading attorneys in their field, and review of additional information provided by law firms as part of the formal submission process. Clients and peers were asked to evaluate firms based on the following criteria: responsiveness, understanding of a business and its needs, cost-effectiveness, integrity and civility, as well as whether they would refer a matter to the firm and/or consider the firm a worthy competitor.
