This recognition, awarded by Best Law Firms® in partnership with Best Lawyers in America®, speaks to the robust methodology used to evaluate eligible firms. To qualify for a Best Law Firms® ranking, a firm must have at least one attorney listed in the latest edition of The Best Lawyers in America®. The 2026 edition includes 12 High Swartz Attorneys and one in its Ones to Watch edition.

High Swartz LLP's achievement reflects its continued commitment to client satisfaction in diverse practice areas, spanning both national and metropolitan areas.

Best Law Firms® Evaluation Process: A Methodology Built on Quality and Client Satisfaction

Best Law Firms® rankings are determined through a rigorous process that combines client and professional references with data-driven evaluations, surveying factors such as client responsiveness, cost-effectiveness, and overall experience. Each eligible law firm receives a tailored submission packet with access to the Best Law Firms® portal, allowing them to submit key background information on their practice areas. Additional feedback is gathered from clients and professional references who highlight their satisfaction with the firm's understanding of business needs, professionalism, and value.

The methodology assesses law firms across 75 national practice areas and 127 metropolitan-specific practice areas. In major metropolitan areas, such as Philadelphia, the ranking process evaluates a firm’s relative standing against competitors, using both qualitative and quantitative data to produce a tiered ranking system. High Swartz LLP’s distinguished rankings place it within the top tier for Land Use and Zoning Law and solidify its Tier 2 status in Real Estate Litigation, an accomplishment that speaks to its recognized proficiency and impact.

Tiers and Rankings: Demonstrating Excellence in Every Practice Area

Best Law Firms® rankings employ a tiered scoring system rather than a sequential ranking, ensuring that firms with closely aligned scores are grouped together. This approach considers both metropolitan-level achievements and national reach, offering a balanced perspective on firms’ performances within their respective legal markets.

With High Swartz LLP’s 2026 accolades, clients and partners gain reassurance of the firm’s dedication to high-caliber service and its capability to navigate complex cases effectively.

High Swartz LLP continues to set a standard in Land Use and Zoning Law, Real Estate Litigation, and across 14 Philadelphia-area practice areas, confirming its position as a trusted legal partner both locally and nationally. Below is a breakdown of specific practice areas.
