Ballard Spahr in the Running for Benchmark Litigation State Firm of the Year Honors

January 31, 2025

Ballard Spahr has been named to the shortlist for Benchmark Litigation’s 2025 U.S. Awards for the most distinguished firms in Pennsylvania and Washington, the locations of Ballard Spahr’s two largest offices, in Philadelphia and Seattle.

The firm recently added the Seattle office through its combination with Lane Powell—expanding to more than 750 lawyers in 18 offices across the country.

Ballard Spahr is among just six finalists for the 2025 Pennsylvania award and four finalists in Washington. Benchmark Litigation also recognizes 12 of Ballard Spahr’s Pennsylvania lawyers and five of its Washington lawyers individually in the most recent edition of the guide to U.S. litigation firms and attorneys.

Winners of the award for each state will be announced at an event March 6 in New York City.

“After months of peer review-based research and hundreds of submissions, Benchmark is excited to recognize the country’s most distinguished litigators and their firms for their exemplary work over the past 12 months,” Benchmark Litigation said in announcing the shortlisted firms.

With the recent combination, Ballard Spahr’s national Litigation Department has grown to more than 340 attorneys. Litigators in the firm’s Philadelphia, Seattle, and 16 other offices coast-to-coast handle practically every type of business dispute, from antitrust and bankruptcy to tort and white collar defense cases. The Benchmark Litigation shortlist is the latest recognition for the firm’s Litigation Department and its attorneys, which have drawn top rankings from other national ranking organizations, including Chambers USA and Best Law Firms.
