Gunster, one of Florida’s oldest and largest full-service business law firms, is pleased to announce that the firm is a leader in 12 practice areas in the 2024 edition of Chambers USA. As the firm continues to grow, so do its multifaceted, first-in-class capabilities, which is evidenced by these latest rankings.

Gunster also had 32 individual lawyers recognized by Chambers USA, which identifies and ranks lawyers and law firms based on evaluation of applications and in-depth telephone interviews conducted by its research team. Clients interviewed stated, “The team assists us in a manner which makes me feel safe, secure and confident in their abilities. They are also always promptly available when I need to ask them a legal question.” Another client remarked, “Gunster enjoys a sterling reputation for the strength of its e-discovery practice, with clients frequently turning to its expert attorneys in their most significant and document-intensive litigation matters.”

Established in 1990 and long considered the ‘gold standard,’ Chambers and Partners is an independent UK-based research company operating across 200 jurisdictions delivering detailed rankings and insight into the world’s leading lawyers and law firms. Chambers rankings are assessed based on six factors: technical legal ability, client service, depth of team, commercial vision and business understanding, diligence, and value for money.

Individuals that ranked in both the Chambers USA and Chambers Global 2024 Guides include: Sarah Lea Tobocman (Immigration), Christine P. Payne (E-Discovery and Information Governance), Michelle Six (E-Discovery and Information Governance) and Peter Quinter (International Trade: Customs).
