Elias Law Group Recognized as Top Firm for Political Law by Chambers USA
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Elias Law Group has been recognized as a top firm for Political Law by Chambers and Partners, publishers of Chambers USA: America’s Leading Lawyers for Business, achieving a Band 1 ranking in its first full year of eligibility as a firm. This recognition comes less than two years after 50 attorneys left the political law practice group at their previous firm to start Elias Law Group.
Elias Law Group was one of just three firms nationwide to earn a “Band 1” ranking for Political Law, and five Elias Law Group attorneys earned individual recognition in this year’s Political Law Guide.
